One neighbour told Channel 2 of the activity at the property: "A lot of partying, they had an illegal strip club on the weekends." Another said: "They would get live horses. One day they had live horses."
The situation escalated to the point where a SWAT team was deployed to handle the situation. When officers entered the home, they found additional stolen items, including another stolen car, stolen IDs, credit cards, and a stolen weapon. Surprisingly, it was revealed that the people living in the house were actually squatters, not legal occupants.
