ATLANTA — Police said they took down an illegal operation at a home where squatters had taken over.

The homeowner told Channel 2's Tyisha Fernandes that he didn't know the squatters were even in his home.

Fernandes said the homeowner didn't want to talk on camera but, when he saw the images of what police said was going on in his home, he was shocked.

Police had six cars towed from a northwest Atlanta home because they said half of them had been stolen.

“Because of that, police obtained a search warrant for further investigation,” Lt. Peek, with the Atlanta Police Department, said.

The whole thing started around 9:30 a.m. Friday at a home along Marco Drive.
