Police in the Colombian capital of Bogota say they have caught a 
monkey which had been trained to pick pockets.

The monkey was captured following complaints from locals in the south 
of the city who said it had stolen wallets, mobile phones and other 
valuables.

Colombian officials say after the creature targetted its victims it 
returned home with the stolen goods and was rewarded with bananas by 
its owner.

Bogota police say the monkey has now been taken to an animal 
rehabilitation centre.
