Two men have been charged after a Banksy artwork was stolen from a central London art gallery, the Met Police has said.
CCTV footage obtained by the BBC shows the moment the artwork was stolen from the gallery.
An investigation was launched after a burglary at Grove Gallery on New Cavendish Street at about 23:00 BST on Sunday.
The work, 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.
The pair are set to appear at Kingston Crown Court on 9 October.
