Dallas Zoo monkeys found in Lancaster Church Community House, information reward raised to $25,000.

The Dallas Zoo reports that two emperor tamarins that went missing earlier this week appear healthy and are recovering from the experience.

The monkeys, named Bella and Finn, lost weight during the trials but showed no signs of injury, according to the zoo.

Both animals began eating and drinking shortly after they were removed from an abandoned home in Lancaster on Tuesday evening.

On Monday, police said the monkeys’ habitat had been disturbed and that they believed the animals had been taken away.

People close to the Church of God in Christ Family Center in Lancaster confirmed to FOX 4 that the monkeys were found inside the church’s community house, which is next door to the church.

Church sources tell FOX 4 that the house has been broken into in the past.

The church says it recently filed a police report about break-ins after ducks, pigeons, chickens and cats gathered inside.

The police released a photo and video of a man they wanted to question in connection with the disappearance of the monkeys.

The Dallas Zoo says the video was critical to the tip that led to the animal’s discovery.

The police did not report any arrests in connection with the case.

Bella and Finn will need to be quarantined before being returned to their habitat.

This is just the latest possible criminal incident at the Dallas Zoo this month.

Deliberate cuts were found in langur habitats and in habitats of a clouded leopard that escaped.

The endangered vulture was also found dead with a wound that police have named.

The Dallas Zoo is now offering a $25,000 reward for any information that leads to the arrest of the person or people responsible for the incidents.
