nightmare-cops-left-handcuffed-report
Residents of a neighborhood in Winter Park, Florida, say squatters have
created a "nightmare" situation and have not been evicted citing how the
police department is "handcuffed" from doing anything.
"It’s been a nightmare," Winter Park resident Justin Mielcarek told WFTV
9.
The news outlet visited Fifeshire Drive in the town, and said residents
were eager to speak out about the squatting issues, including one home
that has been sparking tension since June when squatters reportedly moved
in.
Mielcarek and other neighbors said they started noticing full trash bins,
shades that covered all the windows, and a car in the driveway at the home
back in June, despite the home’s owner living abroad.
The neighbors recounted their suspicions were piqued and called the
property management to inquire about their new neighbors, but the property
company had no records of any tenants. Police were called, who reportedly
raided the property, and left the alleged squatters fleeing over fences,
jumping out of windows and even landing in a pool, WFTV reported.
"K9 units, helicopters. Gentlemen running, police officers chasing after
them," one neighbor, who only identified by her first name Leslie, said.
The home has since reportedly been the site of 14 police calls as
neighbors report cars visiting the home at all hours of the night, lights
shining from the house into neighboring homes, and speeding on the
residential roads. Police, according to residents, are patrolling the area
more closely in response to the alleged squatters.
Neighbors say that police have been held off from making any arrests due
to the alleged squatters producing phony lease records. The actual
homeowner, according to the outlet, filed a lawsuit to evict the people
from the people, but neighbors blame her for the squatting activity.
"I think we need to figure out something," Mielcarek said. "The cops are
handcuffed because they can’t do anything … and the court process takes
however long it takes. You wish it was a little bit of a faster process."
They say the homeowner has refused to sell the property to willing buyers,
while the property has lagged on up-keep.
"We have three rental properties on the street alone, and it’s very
evident which they are because they’re not kept up," neighbor Christine
Armstrong said.
Armstrong said the squatters even nearly hit one of her kids on the
street.
"On one occasion, a few days ago, [one of the occupants] almost hit one of
my children," Armstrong said.
A lawyer representing the homeowner to evict the alleged squatters said a
judge signed a final judgment against the squatters last week. The lawyer
will be able to apply for a writ of possession once the judgment
officially appears on the court docket.
The people inside the home, however, claim they are victims of a scam,
telling the outlet that their cousin invited them to the home and they
paid him rent. The cousin has since disappeared, they said.
Squatting incidents in Florida and other areas across the country has
become a more pressing issue since the pandemic, with similar incidents
where squatters produce false documentation to take over a home.
One woman in Bonita Springs was arrested last week for allegedly illegally
moving into a multi-million dollar beach home with her dog, and was caught
by police wearing the true homeowner’s clothing at the time of her arrest,
according to a report. Law enforcement in Fort Lauderdale removed 10
squatters from a million-dollar property that was left riddled with bugs
and damage earlier this summer. While other law enforcement near Port
Orange, Florida, in June dismantled structures on an island known for its
drug use that was overtaken by squatters.
