Gutsy police officers have captured a five-foot snake on the loose in a public park.
Metropolitan Police officers were called to King George's Park in Wandsworth, south London, on Monday night where the carpet python was found slithering along the edge of a fence.
In a series of tweets, Superintendent Steve Wallace revealed how a team of three officers snared the "slippery customer" using a secure bag.
He also shared a picture of Pc Faye Castleman posing boldly alongside the black and gold patterned python with its head raised.
He said on Tuesday: "Slippery customer! Pc Castleman attended King George's Park yesterday - reports of large snake on the loose.
"Sgt Wainwright attended with a ballistic bag and handed it Pc Terry who captured the animal - safely delivered to Putney Animal Hospital."
