Five monkeys are on the loose on Cincinnati’s west side, including some seen swinging in trees at St. Joseph cemetery overnight, police confirmed Thursday morning.
Police said they reached out to the Cincinnati Zoo to help round the primates up later Thursday at Saint Joseph’s Cemetery at West Eight Street & Enright Avenue.
Officers responded to the area about 10 p.m. Wednesday when residents reported monkey sightings. They have since cleared the scene but intend to return later.
People are saying there’s monkeys swinging from the trees in Price Hill. This is one of the videos taken early this morning. What do you think? @WLWT pic.twitter.com/xnYBuOeL8M
