Zoo delighted at monkey returns but baby still missing
Blackpool Zoo has said it is "absolutely delighted" that four of the five monkeys stolen from their enclosures have been found safe and well but saddened that the baby was not among them.
Two female cotton-top tamarins and two male emperor tamarins were returned to the zoo after they were found abandoned in Bradford overnight.
Charlotte Pennie, head of primates at the zoo, said: "We are extremely relieved that four of the monkeys have been found safe and well, although we are also saddened that the baby cotton-top Tamarin has not been found."
The zoo joined Lancashire Police in thanking the public help with the search, while officers appealed for more help in their ongoing investigation into Tuesday's planned theft.
