A snake encased in a polystyrene box and other dangerous animals without permission were also found in a house, as well as plant seedlings suspected of using drugs.

Police also found an alligator turtle, a crocodile, a snake and plant seedlings suspected of drugs in a home in Dunaharaszti, the Pest County Police Headquarters said on Saturday on the police.hu website. They wrote that they had left the house to request an advertisement and were originally looking for drugs, but even the police were shocked when they found the dangerous animals.

In addition to the four drug-susceptible plant seedlings and a scale, the researchers also found caged pets, a snake, an alligator turtle and a small crocodile in the opinion of a leading expert.

According to information from the field, the man did not understand the rules for keeping the animals properly, since the snake was found in a polystyrene box without light or air, it probably would not have lived long. Furthermore, the suspect did not live alone: ​​he lived on the property with his partner and two children, they added.

Police immediately contacted a specialist who said the creatures found were dangerous animals, that their maintenance required a permit, and that it probably wouldn’t even have been possible to keep the snake on a floor with a permit. The police immediately took steps to transport the animals to the Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden.

A 41-year-old inhabitant of the house was questioned as a suspect in the case, who could not credibly prove the origin of the animals, saying in his confession that he was aware of their dangerousness and that he kept them subject to a permit, but not addressed this. He testified about drug-suspect green plant derivatives saving them for his own purposes, raising them from seeds.

The Investigation Department of the Szigetszentmiklós Police Headquarters will continue the criminal proceedings against the Dunaharaszti man for alleged violations of the obligation to possess drugs and keep dangerous animals, and will investigate whether other crimes arise in the case, according to the statement.
