Three pythons were not enough to keep police away from $1.5 million in cash, drugs and a $20,000 jet ski seized on the NSW south coast.
Police searching a home in Little Lake Crescent and a storage facility in Sunset Crescent, Warilla, on Wednesday afternoon found the snakes and the cash.
About $10,000 in cash, plus drugs, and a jet ski - worth more than $20,000 - were seized at the home along with three pythons.
