More monkeys have been recovered outside a Beaufort County, South Carolina, research institute, officials confirmed.

Only four monkeys that escaped a Beaufort County research facility earlier this month remain on the loose. Alpha Genesis CEO Greg Westergaard told Yemasee Police that two additional animals were trapped and returned to captivity Monday evening,

Four monkeys are still on the loose nearly two weeks after breaking free from a South Carolina research facility.

The monkeys were all young female rhesus macaques that weighed no more than 7 pounds but had not been used for testing because of their age.

More than half of a troop of 43 monkeys which escaped an American research facility last week have been captured, local police say. Residents of Yemassee, South Carolina were urged to lock their windows and doors when the female rhesus macaques broke out of a site used by Alpha Genesis,
