On October 15th, a SWAT team raided a house in a metro Atlanta neighborhood. After receiving numerous complaints from neighbors about loud house parties, car races, and even gunfire, authorities investigated the South Fulton home. After running a license plate check, they uncovered a stolen car in the driveway, and even more unusual findings.
It turns out an illegal strip club was operating on the premises, and the raid led to the arrest of four squatters. Their belongings included illegal firearms, stolen IDs, cars, credit cards, and horses. Residents in the area were tired of the raucous partying, the piles of trash, and the smell of weed that surrounded the house.
The raid prompted South Fulton City Council to take action against negligent homeowners whose properties attract squatters and crime. Council member Carmalitha Gumbs unveiled plans to pursue legal action against such homeowners. Meanwhile, Atlanta police are surveying the property to make sure no new squatters arrive on the scene.
The four men arrested - DeAnthony Maddox, Jeremy Wheat, Kelvin Hall, and Tarahsjay Forde - face multiple charges, including theft of the stolen items in their possession. They are currently at Fulton County Jail awaiting trial. It goes to show that even in a big city like Atlanta, crime can be lurking in the most unexpected places.
