Summary:

Police and animal control have been searching for a monkey on the loose since Monday. They even used ATV’s and drones to try and find it, but no luck so far. Local veterinarians believe it may have been a pet that got out. But having a monkey as a pet in Massachusetts is illegal. And right now, the animal is roaming around in people’s backyards.
