Police in the Thai city of Lopburi are rounding up monkeys to try and curb a growing population they say has become aggressive.

The macaques there have been around for decades, drawing in tourists, but recently there’s been some dangerous encounters with locals and visitors.

Wildlife officials are now trying to tackle the issue.
