Monkey caught stealing £100 from Indian jewellery store

Staff at a jewellery shop in India were left shocked when a monkey forced its way in and helped itself to a wad of cash from the till.

CCTV footage taken from the store last month shows the monkey hanging around outside the shop, as a shop worker tries to convince it to go away by offering it some fruit.

Instead, the monkey forced its way into the shop and headed straight for the till, stealing some cash before making a quick getaway.

Even the promise of another chunk of banana couldn't persuade it to stay, and it ran out with 10,000 rupees, which is around £100.
