A new viewing platform located at Deadman's Pond on Signal Hill has been vandalized by graffiti artists marking their territory in huge letters.

A large amount of graffiti was discovered on the wooden platform early Monday morning, which had evidently been sprayed there overnight.

The graffiti is extensive enough to be seen from the city.

The graffiti includes two handles — signatures of the taggers — called Semy and Seone, as well as the tag of RC, standing for Rong Crew, a graffiti crew in St. John's.

The platform, which faces downtown St. John's, was recently built on a walking trail by the Grand Concourse authority.
