Hollywood sign temporarily reads ‘Hollyboob,’ 6 people arrested

By Around the Web

(UPI) – Police in Los Angeles said six people were arrested after altering the Hollywood sign to read “Hollyboob” in what the alleged perpetrators said was a breast cancer awareness message.

The Los Angeles Police Department said the five men and one woman climbed the hills surrounding the sign and threw a tarp bearing a giant letter B over the W and added a dash to the final D to make it look like a second B.

“A few hours ago, a group attempted to vandalize the Hollywood sign. Los Angeles landmarks are precious to those of us @LAPDHollywood and this was way uncool (not to mention the terrain is quite steep & dangerous). Hollywood patrol officers have arrested all six individuals,” LAPD Capt. Steve Lurie tweeted.
