A stunned British man looked in his attic — and found a colony of Kosovans living in the roof.

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.

This is similar to the plot of a recent movie called ‘The Visitor’, where an apartment owner in NY found a couple of illegal immigrants in his vacant apartment. As usual, the movie turns into illegal love fest.

Man must have really wished they were racoons instead.
I wonder which colony removal is less legal hassle these days in UK.

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.

Bradley ventured to take a peek in the attic, and what a surprise!

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!

I'd really like to know what identified them as "Kosovans"?

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!
