Police warn people nearby to call 911 immediately if they spot one of the monkeys and not to 'interact' with them.
Forty monkeys have escaped from a research facility in South Carolina. Thermal imaging cameras and traps have been deployed to recapture the animals, who broke free from the Alpha Genesis site in Yemassee on Wednesday night. 'Residents are strongly advised to keep doors and windows secured to prevent these animals from entering homes,' police warned on Facebook.
Alpha Genesis says it provides 'nonhuman primate products and bio-research services' with 'more than 100 acres of quarantine, breeding, holding and research space'. It conducts clinical trials, including on brain disease treatments, and says it provides the 'highest standards of care for all animals'.
