Escaped monkey causes burglaries in Ica, Peru
Peruvian officials captured a male black-capped capuchin monkey involved in a series of home burglaries in Ica. The monkey was seen moving across rooftops and trees, causing damage as it broke into several homes. Authorities believe the monkey escaped from a private home, as it showed signs of being tied up. The National Forestry and Wildlife Service, along with zoo staff, quickly intervened to capture the animal. The monkey is now at the Ica Municipal Zoo for quarantine. It is too domesticated to return to the wild, and its future will be decided later, either staying at the zoo or moving to a sanctuary.
