A baboon has been reported roaming the streets and gardens of a town in New Jersey.

Police have received more than a dozen reported sightings and warned residents in the town of Jackson to stay inside. Officials believe the animal escaped from a wildlife reserve at a theme park. Members of a search team had seen the animal dashing across a golf course on Friday but were unable to tranquilise it.
