Christchurch monkey on the run

Minty is on the run again.

The Capuchin monkey, from Willowbank Wildlife Reserve on the outskirts of Christchurch, has escaped again and has been on the loose for four days.

Christchurch police described her as a "little brown monkey".

The park wants her back and can be reached on 03 359 6226.

Minty last tasted freedom a year ago when she took to the streets of Christchurch during a trip to the vet.

After three days on the run, climb and scramble, Minty was safely recaptured and returned to her reserve.
