A self-styled Banksy imitator narrowly escaped imprisonment after transforming nearly 40 postboxes in Dartford into a kaleidoscope of colours and patterns. Danny Whiskin, a resident of Dartford, took it upon himself to revamp the traditional red postboxes, adorning them with various designs, including a pink and yellow tribute to Mr Blobby, the iconic Cadbury’s Creme Egg colours and logo, and even coating some in gold.

The 33-year-old embarked on his artistic escapades clandestinely, cruising around Dartford on his scooter armed with spray cans to redecorate the boxes multiple times. However, his endeavours came to a halt when a vigilant passer-by captured him in the act on mobile phone footage in Sycamore Road. Outraged by his actions, the footage was promptly passed on to the police.
