A bizarre raid saw a SWAT team arrest four squatters running an illegal strip club out of a suburban Atlanta home - which allegedly had everything from dancers to live horses on the property.
Neighbors were finally able to get authorities to come out to the home at 4951 Wewatta Street in South Fulton after complaining about the nightmare next door.
In addition to the illegal dancers, there were also noisy parties held at the house on weekends and car races, neighbors said.
'They would get live horses. One day they had live horses,' an unidentified neighbor said.
The neighbors not only lost sleep but would wake up the next day to piles of trash in front of the home.
They also were annoyed by occasional gunfire going off in the area and the stench of marijuana.
'It was always something going on in that house,' one neighbor said.
After levying several complaints, police and the SWAT team finally showed up at the house last Sunday.
An officer said the last straw was a license plate reader discovering a stolen car on the premises. Authorities said they also discovered two stolen cars, a stolen gun, stolen IDs, and credit cards inside the house, according to WSB.
The driver of one of the stolen cars initially refused to come out when pressed by the police before they moved in.
Once officers got inside, they found another stolen car, stolen IDs and even stolen credit cards.
'There was a stolen weapon that was recovered from the residence,' added South Fulton Police Captain Derick Rogers.
DeAnthony Maddox, Jeremy Wheat, Kelvin Hall, and Tarahsjay Forde were arrested on the premises. All four were booked into Fulton County Jail on multiple charges, including several counts of theft by receiving stolen property.

Yep
Boystown
Cockroaches wear wigs, who knew.
How the hell do squatters get away with stealing a home? You should be able to to shot the scum onsight... Then Serv-Pro, like it never happened.
β Then the names confirmed your expectations...β
Well, when I heard horses, I thought maybe hey were Hispanic. I have been to Juarez while in the Army, and heard tales of a dancer and a donkey.
Normally, when Pygmy cannibals have a village feast, they gather around a boiling pot of water.
In this case, they were stripping and dancing around the cauldron, in anticipation of eating the horses and then the neighbors.
Just a normal day in Obama/Biden America. /spit
Guns, drugs, stolen cars, naked women, racing, loud party all night and horses. Well hell, just another family reunion in Atlanta.

I was once asked in a job interview, “if you found a giraffe in your backyard, how would you remove him from your property?” I asked if the giraffe was alive or dead. End of interview.
So the stolen car was parked in the living room, or was it in the garage?
Did you get the job??
Wonder what they wanted you to say?
“Wonder what they wanted you to say?”
I don’t know. But I was thinking at the time a chainsaw, garbage bags and the nearby dumpster was an option if they said dead. It was a think on your feet question.
Yeah that’s a bizarre question
I guess a Sikorsky S-64 Skycrane
Article mentions stolen cars and a stolen credit card.

They sounds like fun people.
Well, maybe not...
Democrats..........................
That sounds like a non-violent crime. Why armed swat team?
Why no swat teams to arrest murderers?
No pictures please. Itβs not like they portray it in movies.

Certainly not just "naked people having fun", but I am not sure I know enough to judge whether the police overreacted or not without knowing far more particulars and also I do not have a particularly extensive knowledge of police work. Not sure when they escalated to the SWAT team, not sure of the level of escalation and tensions when the person refused to come out. Not sure of what warrants were issued etc.
