Two men charged over stolen Banksy artwork

Two men have been charged after a Banksy artwork was stolen from a central London art gallery, the Met Police has said.

An investigation was launched after a burglary at a gallery on New Cavendish Street at about 23:00 GMT on Sunday.

The work, called "Girl with balloon" was the only item stolen and has since been recovered.

Larry Fraser, 47, of Evelyn Denington Road, Beckton, and James Love, 53, of Elvin Drive, North Stifford, appeared at Wimbledon Magistrates' Court on Thursday, a Met spokesperson said.
