12-foot python caught in Toa Payoh
by Hasnita A. Majid, Channel NewsAsia

SINGAPORE : A 12-foot python caused a stir at Block 212, Lorong 8 Toa Payoh on Thursday evening.

The python had been sighted more than 10 days ago but residents believed it had been hiding in a water pipe. An odd-job labourer and his friend who tried to catch the python then, were successful this time round - when they managed to lure it out with a slab of meat.

The police were called in and the snake was put in a sack and taken away.
