How do I check if a list with a range of items exists in another list

Trying to figure out how to check if 1 of any number of lists is in a sublist - without doing it manually.

The lists I'm checking for look like this:

[10, ANY VALUE, ANY VALUE]

The values should be between 0 - 120. So some of the values can be.

[10, 1, 4]
[10, 1, 2]
[10, 0, 0]

etc...

Here is an example of the list I want to find it in:

items = [[3, 5, 0], [10, 1, 0], [10, 127, 127], [22, 4, 0], [22, 125, 127]]

So this would pull out [10, 1, 0]

Ideally it needs to work with an if in statement which looks like this:

if [10, 127, 127] in items and [10, ANY, ANY] in items:
    # do something

You can use the any() function:

if [10, 127, 127] in items and any(len(x) == 3 and x[0] == 10 for x in items):
