Security images that circulated on social media showed people who swing Pythons around in a gas station in Tennessee in a clear attempt to steal cannabis oil.
Employees reported that they had seen the group of snake -waving men and women in the Citgo Truck stop at Highway 138 in Denmark, a small town about 75 miles outside Memphis.
The Sheriff's Office of Madison County, which supplied photos of the incident of 4 March, said that the suspects held two pythons and about $ 400 to CBD oil stable, WRG reported.
The video showed that the men placed the snakes on the countertop. One was completely rolled up, while the other was seen in one of the men's hands.
Mayur Raval said that he and his brother worked in the store at the time and said two men and two women walked into the shop with the snakes.
“They just waved them around and put them on the counter,” said Raval. “One person first brought in one snake and then he brought in another snake. One is white and one is brown or a mix. '
Raval said that the men wipe the CBD oil off the counter, but thinks that the only reason they no longer steal is because there were too many other customers in the area.
“They went to the front of the door,” said Raval. 'I think they were planning to successfully come here and rob the store. The snake is a weapon, you know. '

Although snakes are not inherently fatal weapons, there is sufficient space within the law of Tennessee to charge someone for heavy theft if they used one as weapon.
Tennessee defines theft as a crime 'accomplished with a fatal weapon or by an exhibition of an article used or formed to lead the victim to reasonably believe that it is a deadly weapon.'
In April 2024, the then 26-year-old Reginald Cook entered a Shell filling station in Memphis with a five-part hose around his neck and demanded money from the cash register, WRG reported earlier.
The cashier brought out its own firearm, which essentially ended the incident completely. No one was injured and no money was stolen.
Cook was later accused of two counts of attempt at heavy theft.
