Ras Al Khaimah: Residents and police have killed two venomous snakes that had entered residents' houses, spreading panic.
Civil Defence personnel yesterday killed a one-metre venomous snake in the house of an Arab family in Southern Al Dhaid while an Emirati killed another snake in Al Rams.
A senior officer at the Civil Defence Department said a family reported a huge snake in their house. The family members left the house and reported the case to the department which sent its emergency vehicle to handle the situation.
A police officer found the snake and killed it.
In Al Rams, residents got rid of a venomous snake. For the past few days, the Emiratis were chasing the snake which had been sighted in several houses, spreading panic among the residents.
