Two vigilantes have showed up to evict three brazen squatters who are living at a New York City home after its owner was arrested after she tried to remove them.
Adele Andaloro inherited her family's home, located in Flushing, Queens, but she was left aghast when squatters moved into her childhood home last month.
Andaloro confronted the squatters herself - and was subsequently arrested when one of the men inside called the police on her for changing the locks.
The furious homeowner, who had been in the process of selling the home, said: 'I'm really fearful that these people are going to get away with stealing my home.'
She also shared her fear that by the time authorities look into the matter, it may be more than 30 days since they moved in. Crucially, squatters in New York have rights after occupying a residence for more than a month....
The two-storey home that sits on a quiet street in the Whitestone- Flushing border estimated value on is more than $1.2 million, according to Homes.com.
A woman who appeared to be living in the home would not answer the door after several attempts were made, but earlier in the day told a source that she doesn't know what is going on and said that she is a roommate in the home.
The same woman hours later had ordered take-out that was delivered to the home around 6.30pm.
She opened the door to pay for the order, but soon slammed it shut soon after.
