MIRI: At the wee hours this morning, a 67 year-old man was awaken by his pet dog who was barking at the front porch next to his orchard in Jalan Acorus Taman Delight Lorong Sakura 1A/1.
The man then walked towards the front porch where his orchard located and spotted what was later determined to be a four-metre-long python.
He immediately rang the Miri Civil Defence Force (APM) for help.
According to Miri APM officer Lt (PA) Mirwan Shah Masri, four of his personnel then rushed to the location upon responding to the emergency call at 3.36am. They arrived at about 10 minutes later.
“The team managed to capture the python weighing around 10kg within 15 minutes using a special tool,” he said.
It was then released into the wild.
