The police in Uppsala has an unusual inmate, and it can be stated with all certainty that it squirms on every question.
During the night of Wednesday, the snake was found by a passerby on a road in Karlholmsbruk in Tierp municipality.
It is described as “brown spotted, heavy and about two meters long”.
The police are convinced it is a boa constrictor.
