Under the cover of darkness the individual, who was armed with four tarpaulins, was able to climb Mount Lee and alter the iconic sign, according to the Los Angeles Times. The suspect was recorded on CCTV at 3am climbing the mountain before using ladders attached to the sign to hang the tarpaulins over the “o” letters, replacing them with “e,” Sergeant Guy Juneau from the Los Angeles Police Department’s Security Service’s branch said.
