Cairo, Egypt (AHN) - A building owner in Cairo used a strange trick to kick out three tenants from their apartments.
The owner threw snakes directly in front of their front doors, Al Akhbar, a daily Egyptian newspaper reported. The snakes crept into the apartments and scared the tenants' families and their children.
"The owner wanted to re-sell the flats for a higher price [and] that is why he wanted us out," one of the tenants told police.
"We have no problems with the owner, but one evening we were stunned at seeing snakes creeping onto our floor and the kids were panicking and screaming."
Other neighbors arrived on the scene and the three snakes were killed.
According to the newspaper, the owner was arrested and the dead snakes were taken for an autopsy to determine if they were poisonous.
