Banksy work: Row erupts over Bristol street art

A row has broken out over the ownership of a work of art by "guerrilla artist" Banksy after it was taken from a Bristol street.

It was removed by crowbar by the leader of a nearby youth club within hours of being found.

Dennis Stinchcombe said he hoped to raise £100,000 for the struggling Broad Plain Boys' Club by auctioning it.

But Bristol mayor George Ferguson asked for the work to be put back on the city council-owned wall.

Andrew Plant reports.
