Upon monitoring the gang, officers observed four men and two women using tranquiliser darts to capture the monkeys. The authorities apprehended all suspects and rescued more than ten macaques. They also seized a Ford Ranger pickup truck, a Toyota Prius, a Toyota Wish, 80 tranquiliser darts, a bag of animal feeds, and other items from the group.
