A Banksy artwork in Margate has been taken apart for a second time, after its first removal by the local council before being returned again.
On Thursday morning, people visiting the mural found the chest freezer, which was part of the artwork, missing. This was despite it having been returned by Thanet district council on Wednesday.
The artwork, called Valentine’s Day mascara, appears to be on the theme of violence against women and girls.
It depicts a caricature image of a stereotypical 1950s housewife, wearing yellow washing-up gloves and a blue apron, pushing her husband into a freezer. The woman is shown to be smiling despite having a swollen eye and a missing tooth.
The piece – first seen on Tuesday – used a real freezer, which was deemed to be a safety hazard by the council.
