A 'priceless' Banksy mural has been vandalised in a British seaside town - with penises and "Andrew was 'ere" sprayed alongside the artwork. The image of hermit crabs holding a sign reading "luxury rentals only" was created on a sea wall in Cromer, Norfolk, last summer.
But Banksy's artwork was vandalised at the weekend as obscene graffiti was daubed along the sea wall. Blue, black and yellow spray paint was used to draw penises and phrases including 'Andrew was ere' and 'I want a baby'.
Local photographer Steve Hobart said the vandalism was "disappointing" as Banksy's work was valued in the area. The council has since removed the spray paint, which did not damage the mural as it was protected by a special varnish last August.
