2 men held for stealing monkey

TWO men who hunted a wild rhesus monkey have been detained in north China’s Shanxi Province.

Yuncheng City police seized a car carrying a caged monkey on an expressway in Yuanqu County.

An investigation showed that the two suspects, from Henan Province, drove to Shanxi Lishan national nature reserve, shot the monkey with a tranquilizer dart and locked it in an iron cage. They were intercepted by highway security staff on their way back to Henan.

Rhesus monkeys are a second-class nationally protected animal. The Lishan reserve has hundreds of rhesus monkeys living there.
