Stephanie Tracy/Wild Things Co-Owner
Took the money from the cash register Um they used a hammer and literally smashed through our tanks, grabbed the animals
ABOUT 30 ANIMALS INCLUDING SOME VERY VALUABLE SNAKES WORTH AT LEAST 10-THOUSAND DOLLARS TOTAL STOLEN FROM 'WILD THINGS' IN LAS VEGAS
Stephanie Tracy/Wild Things Co-Owner
Aru Green Tree Pythons, a male and a female, about three and a half to four feet They stole the Emerald Tree Boa that had been here for over a year
And to shatter the glass, that's just pure maliciousness because all they had to do was unlock it
AROUND FOUR FORTY FIVE A-M SATURDAY SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS CAUGHT THIS PERSON SMASHING THROUGH THE TANKS AND SHOVING THE SNAKES INTO A BAG
Stephanie Tracy/Wild Things Co-Owner
And they're particularily mean, so it's really surprising that that's what he took was mean animals, so it's somebody who really knew their way around the animals and knew exactly what they were going for
THIS IS THE SECOND BREAK IN AT 'WILD THINGS' IN THE 10 YEARS THEY'VE BEEN IN BUSINESS
BUT THIS TIME, THE DAMAGE WAS MUCH WORSE
Stephanie Tracy/Wild Things Co-Owner
I would wake up every morning and check the cameras immediately and stuff, and this is just going to further make me very paranoid But it also doesn't make me really want to be in business anymore If I'm going to keep getting broken into and keep getting stolen from, it doesn't exactly make you feel safe as a business owner
