Larry Fraser and James Love have been charged after the iconic painting was stolen from a gallery.
Two men who allegedly snatched a Banksy painting have been charged with burglary. Larry Fraser, 47, and James Love, 53, have been charged with burglary after the iconic painting was stolen from a gallery in London on Sunday, September 8, the Metropolitan Police said.
The investigation was launched after a burglary at a gallery in New Cavendish Street, W1 at around 11pm on Sunday night. A Banksy painting entitled 'Girl with balloon' was the only item stolen, but it has now been recovered and will be returned to the gallery. The first item was of a goat with rocks falling down below it and a CCTV camera pointed at it which was situated on a building near Kew Bridge in southwest London. This was followed by two elephant silhouettes with their trunks stretched out towards each other, which was located on a property near Chelsea.
Banksy then went on to unveil an artwork of pelicans pinching fish from the sign on Bonners Fish Bar in Walthamstow which was praised by local Labour MP Stella Creasy. The collection continued on into August 10 with a silhouette of a stretching cat on an empty, distressed advertising hoarding.
