The owner says if you find the monkey do not approach her or try to grab her because she will bite.
The owner, Juby Bell, has owned Benji for over 20 years. Benji ran off about 20 years ago once and was found a few miles away at a neighbor's home.
Capuchin monkeys grow to be about one and a half feet tall.
If you see the monkey please call Nogales Police at 520-287-9111.
