A MONKEY that has been 'on the run' from Belfast zoo since Wednesday has been captured in north of the city and returned to its keepers.

The lion-tailed macaque was among two monkeys called Rose and Zoid who got away after escaping from their enclosure on Wednesday.

Rose was found on Thursday at the bottom of Cave Hill. Zoid was found on Saturday morning near houses in Ben Madigan Park on the Antrim Road in north Belfast and returned to the zoo.
