A man has appeared in court on charges of burglary after he broke into a local zoo and attempted to steal a squirrel monkey to give to his girlfriend.
John Owen Casford, 23, told the Wellington District Court he was 'high as a kite' when he broke into the squirrel monkey enclosure at the Wellington Zoo in New Zealand on April 7.
The alarm wasn't raised until the following morning when staff found an enclosure gate open and discovered one of their female monkeys injured and hiding inside.
John Owen Casford, 23, told the Wellington District Court he was 'high as a kite' when he broke into the squirrel monkey enclosure at the Wellington Zoo and tried taking one
Casford was able to gain access to the grounds via an unsecured gate before breaking two padlocks to enter into the enclosure, the NZ Herald reported.
Casford then sustained a number of serious injuries inside the enclosure which the judge highlighted during proceedings.
'I don't know what happened in the squirrel monkey enclosure. The squirrel monkeys know. You say you couldn't find them and I don't speak squirrel,' he said.
'What I know is that by daybreak all the monkeys were distressed, two of them were injured, and you had a broken leg, two fractured teeth, a sprained ankle, and bruises on your back.'
Casford said he had broken his leg after jumping into the enclosure.
While Casford was unable to successfully capture any of the squirrel monkeys some of them are now suffering from stress, months after the incident, and another was injured.
One monkey had a haematoma on its elbow while a number of others had scratch marks which indicated they had at least been grabbed

He pleaded guilty to all charges.
He was sentenced for all offences on Wednesday with the judge handing him a two year and seven month jail term.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
