THE OWNER of a marmoset monkey is appealing for help to track down their escaped pet.

Sarah Yas warned the 14-month-old animal was 'not tame' in a post shared on Facebook group Pets Lost and Found in Oxfordshire last night.

She wrote: "Lost female marmoset monkey in Kidlington on Cromwell Way. 14 months old. Not tame.

"If seen please use gloves or towel to catch her and message me. Thank you."

Cromwell Way backs onto fields which leads onto two schools - Edward Feild Primary and Gosford Hill.
