HOLLYWOOD HILLS, Calif. (KCBS/CBS Newspath/WKRC) - A multimillion-dollar mansion in the Hollywood Hills was vandalized Thursday by what police said was a group of squatters.

Los Angeles Police Department officers were called to the mansion Thursday afternoon after receiving a report of a screaming woman and when they arrived, they discovered squatters at the residence.

According to the New York Post, the squatters filled the property with garbage, feces and graffiti, one message of which allegedly read, “f–k rich people.”

Officers could not make any arrests because police were not able to locate the owner of the property and no complaint was filed to begin a criminal investigation.

“They’re just trespassing, squatting,” an officer in the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) told KTLA 5. “The screaming was somebody, I think they got bit by a dog.”

Per the Post, a woman was treated by for the dog bite by responding paramedics.

Damage at the residence included broken glass, graffiti, tattered furniture and trash strewn about the roof and grounds.

Online real estate sites estimate the six-bedroom, 12-bath mansion with a pool and luxury amenities could be worth $10 million or more.

The city ordered the property to be cleaned by Monday.

Gee...I wonder if the owners might have been Rat Party showbiz types.

. Several sites referred to it as a REO bank-owned foreclosure.

In January 2022, SWAT responded to the property on a report of a resident returning home to find a squatter living there who refused to leave. The squatter, reportedly armed with a shotgun and accompanied by his dog, refused to leave for hours before police were eventually able to take him into custody.

It’s shocking that the police responded and got rid of the squatter. Usually the squatter claims “I own this place” and you have a year long battle ahead of you to get him out.

“Who picks up the tab if the city has contracted someone to clean ???”

If it is a bank-owned REO property the bank is responsible.
