A warrant has been issued to arrest 30-year-old Christopher Sensabaugh on charges of attempted theft and criminal damage to property.
Authorities say Sensabaugh tried to steal a big chunk of a cinderblock wall bearing some Banksy artwork.
The mural, which locals call the Rain Girl or the Umbrella Girl, was painted on a vacant building, and is allegedly worth between $200,000 to $1.1 million dollars.
Sensabaugh was photographed by local residents. He told them he was removing the piece for an art show in London, but eventually left without the section of wall.
