Squatters return to Georgia House candidate's $450,000 home just hours after ... trends now

A Georgia candidate for state house says that a group of squatters who'd been arrested at his $450,000 home have returned just hours after making bond to escape jail.

Police arrested six squatters who took residence in the home after they stole a neighbor's car this past Saturday. 

South Fulton cops busted the squatters at 4300 Caveat Court and recovered the stolen vehicle on Saturday - after they had been illegally lodging in the home for five months.

Mel Keyton - a candidate for the state house in Georgia and president of Hampton Oaks Homeowners Association - says they broke back into the house shortly after 1am Monday morning.

'This is the worst criminal activity I've ever seen in my life,' Keyton said.

Keyton says the problem is that local laws remain on the side of the squatters to return. 

'We have to get the police back involved, the city of South Fulton back involved, and we'll go through the same process again because they are trespassing. They are already aware that the property is supposed to be vacant,' he told Fox News.

The National Rental Home Council surveyed its members and found that about 1,200 homes in the Atlanta area have had squatters, reported Newsweek.

'They were just using the legal system to stay in the house,' he added.

On Saturday, video showed cops putting the intruders in handcuffs and sitting them on the sidewalk out side of the home.

Keyton told Atlanta News First the neighbor whose car was stolen was out of town.

'Squatters stole her car and they brought it back over here to drive it in the driveway,' said Keyton.
