Banksy claims responsibility for new fish artwork in central London police box
This marks the seventh Banksy piece to appear across London in a week
Banksy has confirmed that he installed a seventh piece of art in a police box in the City of London.
The elusive street artist confirmed on Sunday afternoon (August 11th) that the piece, which depicts a school of fish swimming in the windows of the police box, was his creation.
Taking to his Instagram page, the artist posted an uncaptioned photo of the piece, which affirmed the piece was his.
The piece involved Banksy using translucent spray paint on the glass windows of the box to create the design.
As a result, this marks the seventh piece of art that Banksy has shared as part of his new art series across the capital.
Over the past seven days, Banksy has erected several different artworks across London, each under the same theme of animals - including monkeys, pelicans and a wolf.
His most recent effort saw a cat stretching its body with outstretched claws in the north western suburb of Cricklewood.
However, within just hours of the piece being discovered the piece was taken down from its location.
Speaking to the Press Association, Detective Chief Inspector Andy Spooner from the City of London Police force said the piece was "criminal damage" and was being removed.
"We are aware of criminal damage to a City of London Police box in Ludgate Hill," Spooner explained.
"We are liaising with the City of London Corporation who own the police box."
