The stencil artwork mirrors the other four artworks the artist revealed this week.

On Monday, a silhouette of a goat appeared near Kew Bridge in Richmond, followed by two elephants in Chelsea on Tuesday.

His third piece on Wednesday, depicts three monkeys seemingly swinging on a railway bridge in Brick Lane, east London.

On Thursday Banksy posted a picture on Instagram of a silhouette of a wolf howling at the moon on a satellite dish in Rye Lane, Peckham, south London.

But within hours the dish was removed and taken away from the scene.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed it received a report of a stolen satellite dish.

“There have been no arrests. Enquiries continue,” the force said.
