The Story
A zoo north of Barrie is appealing for help to find three missing animals that were stolen from the facility by thieves who appear to have cut their way into the facility.
“Last night we were broken into. These people who broke into our zoo stole a baby gibbon, Agnus; they stole JC, the lemur you see in the show, and the tortoise,” said Michelle, one of the workers at the zoo, in a tearful Facebook post. “These animals aren’t animals; they’re our family.”

Ontario Provincial Police said in a news release that the three male animals – an 18-inch tortoise, a black and white Lemur and a black Gibbon monkey – are valued at around $20,000.

The break-in happened sometime between 10 p.m. and 6:30 a.m. They said it appears that the animal-nappers cut a hole in the chain-link fence near the flamingo pond corral to enter the zoo. Police said the fence cutting could have been observed by passing drivers on County Road 27 in Springwater Township.
