The Dallas Zoo will provide an update on security enhancements; the stolen monkeys return to the exhibition

The Dallas Zoo will update city leaders on Tuesday about increased security following a series of bizarre incidents.

The zoo began recruiting more guards last month after two animal enclosures were cut open and a clouded leopard escaped.

The man accused of vandalizing these habitats, Davion Irwin, was also charged with stealing two monkeys a couple of weeks later.

Following the incidents, the zoo said it had strengthened its perimeter fence, added more cameras and lighting, and expanded nighttime police patrols. He also brought in an external security expert.

Bella and Finn were found alive the day after they disappeared in a vacant house in Lancaster. Irwin told the police that they got there by riding the DART train with him after leaving the zoo.

The zoo kept Bella and Finn away from other animals for several weeks to ensure they didn’t catch or spread any diseases.

The monkeys were reported to be running around their enclosure on Monday.
