Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — A federal drug investigation in Albuquerque led to a surprising discovery inside a South Valley home. Search warrants unsealed this week show agents found more than 50 venomous snakes while executing a search related to an alleged cocaine trafficking operation. The collection reportedly included cobras, mambas, pit vipers and other highly venomous species. Investigators also seized cocaine, three firearms and cash during the search. The New Mexico Department of Wildlife removed the animals from the property. Federal authorities have not announced any charges connected to the snake collection.
