Squatters are Removed from a Vacant House

Neighbors in Charleston’s Fort Hill neighborhood knew a home had been vacant for a long time, and police removed squatters from it last weekend. The house had been on the market for several weeks and a cleaning crew had been hired to clean it top to bottom. Instead of doing the work, the cleaning crew carried in suitcases and moved in. The house wasn’t damaged at all. No word how long they had been living there before police became involved.
