BRIGHTON, England—Ten artworks valued at about £10,000 were stolen from the Artrepublic gallery in Brighton in two separate raids, on May 20 and May 24, BBC News reports. Among the loot were nine original Banksys and a work from the Scrawl Collective that could have been mistaken for a Banksy print. Police said it appeared the gallery had been “purposely targeted for the Banksy works.”
