A Homestead woman has been reunited with her pet monkey that was allegedly stolen and sold by her neighbor.
Vanessa Di Gennaro says the monkey, Zoe, was safely returned to her Tuesday after police found her.
"Amazing, I'm just so happy she's safe," Di Gennaro said. "We're going to go to the vet today to make sure we're 100 percent ok cause I don't know where she's been and what she's been through in the last couple days. But she's definitely thinner."
Di Gennaro says the monkey, a white tufted marmoset valued at $2,900 had disappeared while she was cleaning her home.
Police later arrested her neighbor, 21-year-old Oscar Leiva, who was accused of stealing and selling the pet for $900.
Leiva has been charged with grand theft.
