Reports of the monkey reached the FWC from several local residents, although officers remain unsure where the monkey came from.
The FWC asked members of the public to "call in with information so that we can protect public safety and continue to work toward a positive outcome," according to Fox 13.
Residents were also warned not to approach or feed the monkey and were also advised to secure their trash to avoid attracting it.
The first reported sighting of a rhesus macaque in Florida occurred in 1930 when one escaped from a tourist attraction.
