Additional Information

LAKELAND -- Five monkeys remain free, after 15 initially escaped in April from the Safari Wild Preserve in Polk County.

As of Friday, trappers have captured 10. Wildlife officials say trappers know where the remaining monkeys are. The search will continue until all the monkeys are captured.

Officials say the social, but calm Patas monkeys are of no threat to people.
