Cuffe Parade, the South Mumbai tip, has been facing a reign of monkey terror. The primarily residential hub, though it does have a smattering of commercial establishments, is witnessing Simian break-ins at housing societies, causing alarm and trepidation for the residents in the area.

The monkeys, locals have cited spotting at least three at one time, enter homes opening sliding windows with ease, as per a report in this paper. They ransack rooms for food, eating what is left outside and decamp with valuables. This includes watches, keys, mobile phones, jewellery, crystal, in fact anything which catches the eye.
