“The investigation was carried out by the Putra Heights Police Station Chief, and it was confirmed that the snakes were released around the middle of last month,” he added.

A man decided to file a police report

Wan Azlan mentioned that the report was made by a local man at around 10:15 AM on February 3 after he came across a video on WhatsApp, where he saw 2 men and a woman releasing pythons into a drain along Jalan Persiaran Putra Permai, Putra Heights.

The man then went to the Putra Heights Police Station to file a report because he was worried about his safety and the safety of his family.
