70 Snakes Stolen in ‘Professional Hit’

People steal
different things for different reasons, but why
would anybody want to steal snakes? Well, a group
of thieves have hit a British pet store and carting
away not less than seventy snakes in a
professional armed robbery way.
Workers at a British pet store said thieves
made off with 70 valuable snakes in a break-
in dubbed "a professional hit."
Steve Mussard, a worker at Rugby Reptiles,
said the thieves broke into the store
Tuesday night and stole 40 royal pythons
and 30 boa constrictors.
Mussard said the snake rustlers also
damaged security cameras and unplugged
the CCTV system during the heist.
"The police have said this is a professional
hit," Mussard told the Coventry Telegraph.
"They have been stolen to order — they
knew what they were getting was valuable.
They have left the corn snakes and the really
big snakes and lizards that couldn't be
carried anyway."
