A baboon has been reported roaming the streets and gardens of a town in the US state of New Jersey.

Police have received more than a dozen reported sightings and warned Jackson residents who see it to stay inside.

"It's moving quickly and we are trying to keep up with the animal," a police spokesman told local media.

They suspect the animal may have escaped from a wildlife reserve at Six Flags Great Adventure, a New Jersey theme park.

Park spokeswoman Kristin Siebeneicher said the park could not confirm the baboon had escaped from its Monkey Jungle because its 150 animals are not routinely counted.

She told the Asbury Park Press a search team consisting of a veterinarian, a safari manager and security officials had been unable to find paw prints or other signs a baboon had been loose in the area.
