An artwork by the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/banksys-girl-with-balloon-sells-for-ps1-mn-then-he-shreds-it-169915">British artist Banksy</a> has been stolen from the Bataclan music hall in Paris.&nbsp;

The mural — which depicted a young girl with a mournful expression — had been painted onto one of the Bataclan's emergency doors.&nbsp;It was cut out.&nbsp;

The news agency AFP reported a source close to the investigation as telling LCI television that "a group of hooded individuals armed with angle grinders cut the painting and took it away in a truck" on the night of Friday to Saturday.

The artwork had been a tribute to the 90 victims of the November 2015 terror attack on the Bataclan.

"Banksy's work, a symbol of recollection and belonging to all: locals, Parisians, citizens of the world has been taken from us," the Bataclan said.&nbsp;

"We are today filled with a deep sense of indignation," it added.&nbsp;

The November 2015 Paris attacks were a series of coordinated strikes on the city. Three heavily-armed militants had stormed the Bataclan. &nbsp;

A total of 137 people (130 victims, seven perpetrators) had died in the attacks.&nbsp;

Banksy and his iconic street paintings which pop up overnight are by now known the world over. His identity&nbsp;however is secret, known only to a handful of close friends.&nbsp;
