Welcome To Hollyweed: Vandal Alters Iconic Hollywood Sign In Los Angeles

A vandal with a sense of humour has altered the iconic Hollywood sign set in the hills above Los Angeles to read "Hollyweed".

Security cameras showed a man dressed all in black scaling the sign at around 3am on New Year's Day and throwing huge black and white tarpaulins over the Os so as to change the shape of the letters.

One of the tarpaulins was reportedly decorated with a peace sign, and another with a heart.

Sergeant Robert Payan, from the LAPD, said the person climbed a protective fence around the sign and then scaled each letter to make the change.
