Monkey attack 'helped catch thief'
What happens when you try to steal a primate from a zoo? You get bitten and attacked by a bunch of animals!
A bunch of animals made a monkey out of a thief when they scratched and bit him as he stole a primate from a zoo, a court heard yesterday.
The creatures were said to have gone wild as a gang, including Marlon Brown, broke into an enclosure to steal Bolivian squirrel monkey Spongebob.
Brown bled from his wounds, allowing police to identify him through his DNA, it was alleged.
Spongebob is valued at £2,000 on the black market.
He was found in the street a few days later and returned to his home – only to be spurned by his fellow monkeys. He had to be moved to another zoo.
