A security van has returned to the site of Swindon's potential Banksy artwork. 

The black and white image of the boy was created in the style of Banksy and is yet to be verified as a legitimate work from the elusive street artist. 

It appeared on Tuesday morning on the side of the abandoned Stagecoach bus depot building on Eastcott Road.

In the painting, the boy holds a sign that reads "Wild £ man on the run. Heading for Bristol. Dodge News."

Swindon Advertiser:

A security van had appeared at the building on Wednesday morning to protect the site from anyone breaking in or vandalising the building further. 

But it disappeared from in front of the work on Wednesday evening leading to the image to be graffitied over. 

Swindon Advertiser:

A security van has since returned to block the painting from view, this time sporting a chequered police-style design instead of the block yellow vehicle parked on Wednesday.
