Police in Tennessee, United States, are looking for a crew of crooks who made off with $400 worth of cannabis oil from a local gas station convenience store — while armed with a menacing pair of pythons.

Surveillance footage released by the Madison County Sheriff’s Office shows the thieves at a truck stop on Highway 138 in Denmark, with one holding one of the snakes near the clerk at the counter, according to a new report by WREG-TV News.

One witness told the outlet it was a frightening experience.

“They were just waving them around and putting them on the counter,” store customer Mayur Raval said. “One person brought in one snake first, and then after that he brought in another snake. One is white and one is brown or a mix.

“They pulled their car up to the front of the door,” Raval told WREG. “I think they planned to successfully come here and rob the store. The snake is a weapon, you know.”

The crooks then snatched the cannabis oil and took off, fleeing the scene in a small four-door sedan.

Oddly enough, it’s not the first robbery by snake in the Volunteer State.

Last year, 26-year-old Reginald Cook was charged with attempted robbery when he tried to rob a Memphis gas station with a 5-foot snake — only to find himself out-gunned, the outlet said.

The Shell station clerk pulled out a gun and called 911.
