Police received a complaint several days ago that a monkey worth thousands of shekels disappeared, the statement says.
It adds that after a “swift investigation that included various actions, including using various technological means,” the suspects, all residents of Kiryat Ata in their 20s, were apprehended.
Police return the primate safely to the zoo, and say the suspects likely intended to sell it. They will be brought tomorrow morning before a judge for a remand hearing.
