Infamous Street Artist Banksy Was In Ukraine. Easy guess as to what happened next.

The ringleader of a group that allegedly tried to steal a Banksy mural from a wall in Ukraine could face up to 12 years in prison, the country's Ministry of Internal Affairs said in a statement Monday.

The suspect, who has not been named, was served a "notice of suspicion" after police detained the alleged thieves attempting to remove the artwork from a house destroyed by Russian shelling in the city of Hostomel last month.

In total, Banksy left seven works of art on bombed-out buildings in Ukraine. Here are the other six:

Lately, I've been binging on all things Banksy and street art...and ran across a film produced by Banksy called "Exit Through The Gift Shop". If the history of street art is of interest to you, give it a look. You're gonna be surprised where this film takes you.
