Dashcam video captures 2 Saskatoon police officers capturing large snake roadside

SASKATOON — It was a call two Saskatoon police will likely remember for a long time.

The two were dispatched on the weekend to reports of a large, red-tailed boa constrictor on a road.

The video posted on social media shows two officers using a stick and police riot shield to position the non-poisonous snake before they grabbed it and carried it to their cruiser.

A passing motorist gave the officers a big plastic container to put the snake in.
