A city in Thailand has been caught between rival gangs of monkeys that have terrorised, mugged and assaulted locals, even driving some from their homes and businesses.

Lopburi is famous for its long-tailed macaques and even hosts an annual banquet for the animals but in recent years the population has exploded and has started causing trouble.

Tensions boiled over earlier this year when a woman dislocated her knee after she was kicked in the back by a monkey that wanted her food.

In April, after growing complaints from residents, authorities started rounding up thousands of the monkeys and putting them in large enclosures to be sterilised and registered while they try to find a more permanent solution.

But soon after the "arrests" had begun, about 30 monkeys escaped and stormed the police station.

Thousands of long-tail macaques are following increasingly aggressive ringleaders into attacks on tourists and schoolkids, and now they're wising up to the "Anti-Monkey Unit's" tactics, leaving the town no choice but to try and round them up before they storm another police station.

Monkeys for years have shown to be way smarter than humans thought they were, also they have been found to be much more loyal to each other than humans, as was proven in Hartlepool when the monkey didn't spill the beans on his mates.

Was a monkey really hanged in Hartlepool?

A monkey is mistaken for a French spy by the people of Hartlepool and hanged - true story or myth?

Ok not subtle. But hey... This might rings some bells... or even set off alarms.
