A dozen squirrel monkeys were stolen from a Louisiana zoo over the weekend, days before two monkeys were taken from the Dallas Zoo.
Zoosiana, which is located in Broussard, outside of Lafayette, said the theft occurred shortly before midnight on Saturday.
“The individual targeted facilities of smaller primates and specifically compromised the Squirrel Monkey exhibit. The individual was unfortunately successful in stealing 12 squirrel monkeys,” the zoo said in a Facebook post.
