Banksy is quick on the draw again
A provocative mural by controversial street artist Banksy has appeared in north London.
An image showing a young girl being pulled into a cash machine by a robotic arm has appeared on a bricked-up window in Exmouth Market.
It is the latest example of the artist's grafitti-style work.
Last year he left a life-size replica of a Guantanamo Bay detainee at Disneyland, and decorated Israel's controversial West Bank barrier with satirical images of life on the other side of the wall.
One of his stunts was a small rock painting of a caveman pushing a supermarket trolley that spent several days in the British Museum before officials spotted it.
His latest effort could be a comment on high street banks making record profits or their apparent reluctance to repay customers unfair penalty charges.
Banksy's work has become increasingly sought-after and fashionable in recent years.
Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie reportedly spent more than £200,000 on work by Banksy at a Los Angeles sale last year.
Other fans of the artist include Brad Pitt, Jude Law and Keanu Reeves.
