Former NRL star arrested for animal smuggling ring

Thousands of dollars in cash and a number of exotic animals have been seized at the home of former NRL player Martin Kennedy.

Kennedy, 28, was arrested on Friday over his alleged involvement in an illegal international animal smuggling ring.

Dramatic pictures show several snakes and other wildlife being seized at his Bondi home, as the former Rooster is led away in handcuffs by police.

A federal police investigation into the trafficking of reptiles overseas, a multi-billion dollar industry, culminated in Kennedy’s arrest on Friday.
