Criminal Tooled Up


[A brand-new Banksy was apparently stolen
from a south London street today
less than an hour after it was
revealed to be genuine.
The artist confirmed the artwork - a traffic stop sign
covered with three military drones - was his
in an Instagram post shortly after midday.
At around 12.30pm, two men were seen
hurriedly taking down the sign using
a pair of bolt cutters,
with one balancing on a
Lime e-bike to allow him to reach.]
