Hollywood (KABC)
Hollywood residents awoke Sunday morning to find the iconic sign had been altered to read "Hollyweed" in an apparent New Year's Day prank.
The sign was vandalized about 3 a.m.by a male suspect who was recorded on surveillance video,said Lt.Guy Juneau of the Los Angeles Police Department's Security Services Division.
Dressed in all black,the unidentified vandal scaled Mount Lee,made his way over a fence and then climbed onto each of the landmark's "O" letters with black tarps so they each appeared as a lowercase "e".
