Authorities say more than half of the monkeys bred for medical research that escaped from a compound in South Carolina have been recovered unharmed. Police said Sunday that another 24 monkeys were captured, bringing the total number recovered to 25. Forty-three monkeys made a break for it Wednesday after an employee at the Alpha Genesis facility didn’t fully lock a door as she fed and checked on them. Officials say a “sizeable group” remains active along the compound’s fence line and bedded down in trees for the night.
