CCTV records theft of prints by cult artist Banksy

CCTV has recorded the theft from an art gallery of two prints by cult artist Banksy worth more than £16,000. Police are searching for a man and woman who smashed their way by using a street sign into Art Republic in New Compton Street, London. CCTV cameras caught the man entering the shop and grabbing two prints while the woman stayed in the street as a look-out. They then made off on foot.

Works by Banksy, who shot to fame with his anonymous graffiti, are popular with thieves. Ten items worth about £10,000 were stolen from a branch of Art Republic in Brighton in 2007.
