Causing chaos

As complaints mounted after February, local authorities, armed with slingshots and traps, sprang into action to catch the primates that had wreaked havoc and even scared some residents into putting up metal bars at their homes for protection.

"We have to cage ourselves inside, we have no freedom even on the premises of our own homes," said Jirat Buapromart, 54.

"They were ready to steal anything they could from us."
