LA man wanted over attempted Banksy theft

New Orleans police say they’re looking for a Los Angeles man accused of trying to steal a big chunk of cinder block wall bearing a painting by the renowned graffiti artist Banksy.

Police have a warrant to arrest Christopher Sensabaugh, 30, on charges of attempted theft and criminal damage to property, according to a news release.

The mural, which locals call the Rain Girl or the Umbrella Girl, was painted on a vacant building — Banksy’s usual canvas. It could be worth between $200,000 (€145,000) and $1.1m.
