Monkeys on the loose in Cincinnati?!

Some residents said they saw monkeys swinging in the trees in St. Joseph’s Cemetery at West Eight Street & Enright Avenue in East Price Hill. One of them, Sammy Trinh, posted a video to Facebook that she says shows the monkeys. You can watch it in the video player below and judge for yourself.

Officers responded to the area at about 10 p.m. Wednesday after multiple 911 calls. When police tried calling the numbers back, they say no one answers.
They say that while they did not see any monkeys, they are taking the residents’ reported sightings seriously and described the story as “real.” If the story turns out to be false, police say charges could be filed.
If it turns out monkeys are on the loose, police told us they think the animals must have escaped from a private collection.
