A sneaky monkey "robbed" a grocery shop in southwest China, causing more than £300 in losses to the owner.

The clip shows the monkey helping itself to snacks in the shop and a man trying to catch it but failing.

The incident took place in Guiyang City on August 24.

According to the shop owner, known locally only as Ms. Sha, three monkeys have been visiting her store daily for the last month.

The monkey seen in this video was the biggest one, who not only ate snacks but also took naps in the shop.

He also reportedly grabbed food from local schoolchildren on the streets.

Sha reported the incidents to the police who were able to catch the monkey and take it away.

The monkey has since been settled in the local wild zoo, according to reports.

The status of the two other monkeys is not known.
