Lee Bradley, His wife and four children had recently moved into a rental property in West Bromwich, West Midlands when curious Bradley ventured to take a peek in the attic, and what a surprise!
What Bradley saw scared him so bad, he closed the hatch and immediately dialed 999: 12 illegal immigrants sitting on mattresses, eating sandwiches. Walls to the adjoining houses had been knocked down to make room for them all.
The several families scrambled before the police arrived but the officers did seek to contact the owners of the other properties.
The 12 illegal immigrants were sitting on mattresses eating sandwiches.
Walls had been knocked down between Lee Bradley’s home and two adjoining properties to create a living space for several families, with an electric light dangling from the roof. Bradley, 33, closed the hatch and dialed 911. Police raced to his rented house and scrambled the force helicopter — but by the time they arrived the loft dwellers had gone.
Bradley, wife Caroline, and their four kids had just moved into the $970-a-month terraced home in West Bromwich, West Midlands.
“I decided to have a look in the loft space and popped my head through the hatch,” Bradley said. “There was a light dangling from the roof and about a dozen people — men, women, and a baby who started to cry when she saw me. I was scared and shut the hatch straight away.”
Police believe the fiddlers in the roof got access through an adjoining house that had been sublet.

Hmmm. I’ve been thinking I had squirrels in my attack, but now I’m thinking I better take a closer look.
Even eight is unusual.
I confirmed that what I heard in mine were raccoons. I don't know how I would have gotten rid of a colony of Balkans up there.
Wow. “The Borrowers” on growth hormone.
You meant to say “undocumented love fest”...
Man must have really wished they were racoons instead.
I wonder which colony removal is less legal hassle these days in UK.
Pat's or Gino's?
Very disconcerting.
Didn't know they were raccoons until we saw one scamper up a tree next to the house.
This reminds me of a South Park episode where Cartman was hired to exterminate a group of hippies infesting an old womans attic and walls.
Is that a sombrero on the floor?
There’s two of them.
Jeez.....LOL
Yes, and teddy bears in the lawn chair.
Must have been a weird way of life up there in that dusty attic!
Barney Frank had the same surprise when he peered into his basement to find that his live-in love toy was running a HOMOSEXUAL prostitution ring down there..........Well Gollllllllley! What a surprise!
If they were real Kosovo Albanians, they'd have been selling sex slaves and drugs out of the attic, killed a few of the legal owners and then demanded that the survivors hand over the title to their flats to them. But then again, maybe this group was just getting warmed up!
Uh.. yeah.. where's the toilets and the showers?
