A passerby saw the snake and alerted the police, writes Hallands Nyheter. The police later received a call from a person who had found the snake and taken it home with them.
According to the police, it is a royal python snake.
We have taken help from an animal stable that went and picked up the snake, says Magnus Schildt, duty officer at the police region Väst.
The snake is considered found property and the police will now try to find the owner.
Earlier in the week, local media reported on another royal python snake that was found in Varberg and caught by a private person. Also in May, a python was found, that time dead, near the hospital in the city.
