A man named Larry Fraser, 49, was sentenced to 13 months in prison for stealing a limited edition Banksy print from the Grove Gallery in London, valued at £270,000. He broke into the gallery to pay off a historic drug debt, but was apprehended shortly after the theft, with the artwork recovered by police. Judge Anne Brown described the burglary as brazen and serious, emphasizing Fraser’s lack of knowledge regarding the print’s value. Fraser, who has a criminal history but had been out of trouble since 2008, pleaded guilty to burglary.
