Police in Tennessee are searching for at least four people, some who were armed with snakes, after they allegedly robbed a convenience store.

Madison County Sheriff’s Office has shared footage of the suspects who are accused of stealing $400 (£309) worth of cannabis oil from a truck stop on Highway 138 in Denmark.

Watch below:

Citgo store employee Mayur Raval said he and his brother witnessed an individual approaching the counter with a snake.

He told WREG: "They pulled their car up to the front of the door.

"One person brought in one snake first, and then after that, he brought in another snake.

"One is white, and one is brown or a mix.

"They pulled their car up to the front of the door."

"I think they planned to successfully come here and rob the store," he added.

"The snake is a weapon, you know."

Raval said that if it wasn't for the other customers in store, the group would have stolen more cannabis oil.

On their CrimeStoppers Instagram account, police shared footage of the incident, which was said to have taken place on 4 March.

"Crime Stoppers needs your help. On March 4th two black females and 2 black males who had 2 ball pythons stole cbd oil valued at $400 from the Citgo on 154 hwy," they wrote.

"They left in a small 4 door sedan with a drive out tag and the trunk tied w bungee cords."

LADbible Group has contacted Madison County Sheriff’s Office for more info.

This comes after a man from Tennessee tried to rob a gas station with a five-foot-long snake last April.

Reginald Cook, 26, attempted to rob the Shell gas station on Elvis Presley Boulevard in Memphis at 2.00am local time.

As reported by the New York Post, Cook first tried to demand money from the cashier, who refused.

Just 30 minutes later, he returned with a five-foot snake wrapped around his neck, allegedly shouting: "Give me the damn money."

Cook then pretended to reach for a weapon in his backpack, when the cashier pulled out his own weapon in self defence, according to the affidavit. He then called 911 and Cook was arrested without further incident.

Cook was charged with two counts of attempted aggravated robbery, and his bond was set at $4,000 (£3,090).

The outlet reports that his family visited the Shell station the following day to apologise.
