Rampaging baboons are wreaking havoc at a British wildlife park by leaping on the cars of unsuspecting visitors and making off with their possessions.

The 140 baboons at the Knowsley Safari Park have learned how to open luggage containers on roof racks, allowing the cheeky primates to seize the contents as their own.

Alarmed park staff have been forced to implement a plan they call Anti-Social Baboon Orders to curb the messy madness, with visitors warned they enter the park at their own risk.
