GLUE SNIFF MONKEYS

A CITY police force is struggling to contain a marauding band of terrifying, glue-sniffing "gangster monkeys".

Wild macaques have been stealing bags of glue from addicts, getting high and launching attacks in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

The crazed beasts have been biting people and stealing laundry.

Deputy governor of the city’s Daun Penh district Pich Socheata, said: "We have to remove the nasty creatures from the city. They grab glue bags from street kids, climb up into the trees and sniff it up."

Officials have so far "detained" 15 macaques.
