Thieves use snakes as weapons to steal cannabis oil, and the images go viral

Security camera footage shows the moment thieves entered a convenience store in the U.S. armed with snakes to steal cannabis oil.

The incident took place in Tennessee, when the criminals entered a gas station convenience store to steal the equivalent of $400 in cannabis oil.

In the footage released by the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, one of the thieves is seen holding one of the snakes close to the cashier to intimidate him, according to a report from WREG-TV News.

“They were just swinging them around and putting them on the counter. One person brought in a snake first, and after that, he brought another one. One is white and one is brown or a mix,” said a witness who was in the store during the robbery.

The thieves then grabbed the cannabis oil and fled the scene in a small four-door sedan. The police are still searching for the robbers.
