An Opelousas man is in custody for the theft of a dozen squirrel monkeys from Zoosiana in Broussard.
With the help of the Opelousas police, Broussard detectives arrested 61-year-old Joseph Randell for burglary and 12 counts of animal cruelty.
Surveillance video from the zoo helped detectives to identify Randell as the suspect in the January 28th burglary.
The monkeys have not been recovered, and their whereabouts is unknown.
