Six Arrested in Georgia for Squatting and Auto Theft

Georgia police apprehend six individuals accused of illegally occupying a suburban home and stealing a neighbor's car.

The suspects were detained in South Fulton after police linked them to a stolen vehicle parked at a reportedly vacant property.
The group had allegedly been living in the home since Christmas Day 2023, unsettling the local community.
Residents expressed safety concerns, citing unfamiliar faces and increased criminal activity in their neighborhood.
The incident highlights ongoing issues with squatting, prompting recent legislative actions to strengthen homeowner protections.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp recently signed the Georgia Squatter Reform Act to address legal loopholes exploited by squatters.
