NBC — It’s a crime caught on camera that has the owners of a north Texas business going bananas. They have security camera video of what appears to be a monkey burglarizing their business.

Ellen Goldberg has more on the bizarre break-in. “Definitely never been robbed by a monkey before,” says store co-owner Jerry Duncan.

Yes, a primate is the prime suspect in the latest break-in at this Richardson, Texas nursery. “I said no way until I look at it and said this is crazy,” said store co-owner Shelley Rosenfeld. The owners of “Plants and Planters” are convinced that’s a monkey in the bottom left hand corner of the security camera tape.

“You can see the back legs the front arms and the white head,” observes Duncan. And with the help of a human accomplice, Shelley Rosenfeld believes the monkey was trained to steal several hundred dollars worth of her merchandise.

“He went out in this section out here and handed plants over the gate,” she says. About 40 plants were missing the next morning. There were also pieces of concrete shattered in the parking lot. “They need to train him better if he is going to do the big jobs,” Duncan adds with a laugh. For now, Richardson police are stuck with the job of figuring out who or what this is.

“I wouldn’t think there would be too many monkeys in this city,” Duncan says.

There are no bad monkeys… just bad owners.
