Police raid ex-Banksy agent’s gallery to save woman who turned out to be £18,000 dummy

Police broke down the door of a London Art gallery owned by Banksy’s former agent to try and save a “woman in distress” - who turned out to be a realistic artwork.

In a case of art imitating life, cops forced entry to the Laz Emporium gallery only to find the reported health emergency was in fact a dummy called Kristina.

London Metropolitan Police said they had received a call at 5.32 p.m on Novemver 25 about a person who appeared to be unconscious inside the swish London gallery on Soho’s Lexington Street.
