Second suspect arrested in theft of Banksy cease signal art work that includes navy drones

LONDON — A second suspect was arrested within the alleged theft of a piece by the elusive road artist Banksy of a cease signal adorned with three navy drones, London police stated Sunday.

A person in his 40s was in custody on suspicion of theft and prison harm, the Metropolitan police stated. A suspect in his 20s who was arrested Saturday was launched on bail.

Witnesses who arrived at a road nook Friday within the south London part of Peckham lower than an hour after Banksy posted a photograph of the work on Instagram stated they have been shocked to look at a person with bolt cutters take away the signal as one other man steadied a motorbike he stood on.

The incident was captured in images and video.

Much of Banksy’s political and satirical artwork is crucial of battle, and lots of of his followers interpreted the work as calling for a cease-fire within the Gaza Strip.
