"The Rhesus macaques made a break for it Wednesday after an employee at the Alpha Genesis facility in Yemassee didn't fully lock a door as she fed and checked on them."
"Officers reported that many of the other monkeys were still located a few yards from the property, jumping back and forth over the facility's fence, cooing at the second group of monkeys inside."
"Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard relayed that efforts to recover all the animals will persist throughout the weekend and for as long as it takes."
"Alpha Genesis, federal health officials and police all said the monkeys pose no risk to public health, emphasizing the safety of the situation despite the escape."
