India - Police in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu are at a loss
over how to deal with a theft complaint lodged against a monkey, a
report said Monday.
The United News of India reported that two foreign tourists had
complained to the police in the hill town of Udhagamandalam that
they suspected a monkey had stolen a camera and some other items
from their room.
The two had found their goods missing recently on return to
their holiday resort from a sightseeing tour. A search by the
resort management yielded no results.
One of the tourists pointed an accusing finger at a simian
reportedly seen near their room. A few others also concurred with
the complaint.
Now the police was forced to include the monkey as the suspect
though they are at a loss over how to identify the alleged culprit
from among the many simians in the area, UNI said.
