Highway Advertisement Billboard Hacked to Play Porn Video

The police are looking for two individuals suspected of playing an adult pornography video on a billboard on Interstate 75 near Michigan highway 59.

The incident happened late on Saturday evening and drivers through Auburn Hills could see the pornographic video shown on an electronic board that typically displayed advertisements.

If caught, the suspects face a penalty of 90 days in jail and/or a $500 fine for disseminating pornographic material. They also face potential burglary charges.

Caught on video

Based on a report by the Auburn Hills Police Department, two hooded suspects climbed a six-foot fence and broke into a building under the sign that houses the computers for running ads that display on the highway billboard.

A video surveillance camera inside the building captured the two hooded suspects, who wore glasses and had their faces being partially covered by hoodies, as they entered.

According to Auburn Hills Police, the two broke in at 10:49 PM on Saturday (date and time on the footage is not correct) and spent about 15 minutes inside.

Reports started coming in around 11:00 PM from drivers who were seeing a pornographic video,with some being distracted to the point of getting into a car accident. Both the south and the north side of the panel were showing the same images.

"Officers arrived on scene and witnessed the video being displayed at that time," the police say. The video played for 15 to 20 minutes.

The company operating the sign is Triple Communications with its parent company being Triple Investment Group (owners of the Pontiac Silverdome property). The police reached them at an emergency contact number and got the lewd content down.

Despite the video capture, the police are unable to identify the perpetrators and are requesting public assistance to find out who they are.

In the video shared by the police, the perps can be seen entering the building, one of them holding a phone and probably taking some pictures. When they saw the camera they lowered their head and moved the cam to a different angle.
