Amazing CCTV footage has been released showing a monkey tactically stealing money from inside a jewellery shop.

In a scene that looks incredibly similar to 1992 Disney cartoon classic Aladdin, the monkey waited outside of the store to grab the attention of the owner.

Assuming the chimp wanted food, the owner chucked out a few crumbs hoping to be rid of the little fella.

But the macaque monkey pushed the door open gently, ran into the store and created a scene.

The owner, frightened by the confrontation, fled the shop to go and summon help.

While inside alone the monkey went straight to the cash drawer and plucked out wads of notes.

An employee then ran over to try and coax the ape with some food but he made off with a handful of cash.
