A baby monkey is back home and two people are facing theft charges after police say the pair stole the animal from the zoo here in Lafayette.

Officers tell us 20-year-old Zachary Chase Guidroz and 18-year-old Emily Elizabeth Trosclair were arrested after an anonymous caller told Broussard police that the monkey had been taken.

But now the six-month-old monkey has been reunited with its mother at the Zoo of Acadiana.

Broussard Police Chief Brannon Decou tells us neither suspect said why they took the marmoset monkey, which is still nursing and weighs less than an egg.
