A group of squatters that occupied a home in Washington state returned just one day after 30 sheriff's deputies carried out a SWAT raid on the property.
The land is part of an unincorporated area in the suburbs of Seattle and owned by Laleh Kashani, 49, whose husband died a couple of years ago, she told KIRO7.
On Wednesday, county officials raided the property, which had been occupied since the beginning of the pandemic, and discovered 52 cars, some stolen, as well as drugs and guns.
Five out of around a dozen squatters were arrested, but just a day some returned and breached newly installed locks and reoccupying the property.
Kashani said the debacle had left her feeling exasperated and at a breaking point. 'I literally cry,' she said. 'I'm going to give up, I'm going to lose my house. Whatever we owe on it, let the bank take it.'
'A bunch of criminals,' Kashani said of the occupiers. 'They took over the house and we couldn't collect a dollar of rent, and have a mortgage,' she said.
The Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force had been looking into situation for around six months and Lieutenant David Hayes confirmed that the occupiers were stealing cars and using the site to break them for parts.
'Multiple people living or staying there, short term and long term. They have no ownership of the property and it's very unhealthy and unstable living conditions,' said Hayes.
Of the five people arrested three had warrants out for them and two were brought in on new charges.
'The detectives were there on site until about 8pm last night recovering the stolen vehicles that were found,' said Hayes.
But after their departure both neighbors and Kashani said the squatters came back almost immediately.

Not sure why people in Blue States think they can have their house back after going on vacation.
Whatever we owe on it, let the bank take it.’
or hells angels.
Most Hells Angels today are near the president’s age. They may already have a home of their own.
Thanks. Sorry, I didn’t realize this was posted already. Awful story.
Offer a kegger and barbecue for the local Hell’s Angels club to come out and have a go.
It’s a different source. You can do that. I was just linking the two articles.
Where’s the Rottweilers when you need ‘em?
The owners should have fill the house with Trained guard dogs. If ever there was time for Pitts.
I would walk into the offices of my mortgage holder, hand them the police report, and a copy of this article, along with the keys to the house, and say “So long! It’s all yours now”! Then I would return to my already packet U-Haul and haul my butt to another state.
Have the Sheriff evict them again and then raze the place.
It’s ruined anyways.
Have wreckers and bulldozers waiting on the street.
Clean up on isle 3.
The end.
If homesteaders took over one of my rental units the only thing I would do is call my son to bring Bela and Bud over. No more homesteaders. Case closed.
A group of squatters that occupied a home in Washington DC located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue…..( fixed it)
The criminals would just shoot all the dogs.
Obviously, you’re not comprehending the situation
Might be the only solution.
Not so sure these criminals would have guns. But in this case I like the guard dogs that hide and remain silent for a time.
I read it had a mortgage. So it would be a crime for the home owner to destroy it. Only the criminal illegal occupants are allowed to destroy it.
I can’t figure out why you listed the daily mall as the source when the link does not go there.
