Watchet
MONKEYS & WALLABIES
Zookeeper stays home with animals
by Matthew Taylor
A zookeeper barricaded himself in his flat with two wallabies and fourteen tortoises for three weeks after being sacked for selling monkeys.

48 year-old Steven Riley refused to leave his home inside Tropiquaria at Watchet Somersett. When he did emerge managers found the flat wrecked. The wallabies had been kept in a bedroom.

Mr Riley is claiming unfair dismissal.
