BRADFORD, Ont. — Police say they're looking for a snake thief.

South Simcoe police say the two snakes — male and female ball pythons — were reported missing from the Bradford, Ont., home on Tuesday.

They say a neighbour had been "snakesitting" for the absent owner and discovered the snakes, less than a metre long and yellow with tan markings, had been taken from their sealed enclosures.

Investigators say a former roommate of the owner is a suspect in this crime.

They say there is no danger to the public and investigators believe the snakes are still contained.
