Eight people found guilty by a French court on Thursday of stealing a mural by street artist Banksy from the famous Bataclan concert hall in Paris were handed prison sentences ranging from a few months to several years.

In June 2018, Banksy created a mural of a veiled, mournful female figure on a fire exit door of the Bataclan concert venue, where 90 people were killed by Islamist gunmen during a wave of simultaneous attacks across Paris on November 13, 2015.
