Banksy's stencilled tag is visible above an image of an animal on one of the building's walls.

The benches have been removed for cleaning, a spokesperson for East Riding of Yorkshire Council says.

It happened at a block of flats on Roden Street off the Donegall Road on Thursday night.

The artwork featured as part of the artist's animal-themed series across the capital last summer.

The painting has been removed while work on the building takes place but its future home is unclear.

Street artist Sarah Marshall says she is getting fed up with her daughter seeing rude messages.

A councillor has called for action to tackle vandalism in Upton-upon-Severn.

The mural featuring three rugby players was defaced within hours of it being completed.
