Three monkeys, valued around $4,000.00 each, have been reported stolen to the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office.
According to Dodge County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Glen Conley, the monkeys belong to Judy Milner, of Dodge County. Milner reported that one monkey had been stolen in February and two more were stolen in early March.
Conley told The Dodge County News on Tuesday during a phone interview that it appeared on both occasions that an individual or individuals had cut through the perimeter fence where the monkeys were kept.
Prior to the thefts, Conley said it appeared that someone had tried once before to steal the monkeys.
According to reports, a reward for information about the monkeys is being offered for information pertaining to the monkeys’ whereabouts and/or the theft.
Conley stated, for safety purposes, “If you see the monkeys, don’t try to capture them or touch them…call us first.”
Anyone with any information about the monkeys or the theft should contact the Dodge County Sheriff’s Office at 478-559-1130.
