The rapid intervention of the Palma Local Police prevented a home on Camí de Jesús from being illegally occupied. Officers from the Integral Security Unit (Usei) acted following a neighbor's report. Upon arrival, they found several people, including seven minors, who had forced the door. The intruders claimed to have been in the house for three days, but the officers confirmed that the entry had occurred that same morning.
Security cameras and witnesses: technology at the service of prevention 🎥
The key to dismantling the squatters' alibi was consulting with neighbors and witnesses, combined with the possible existence of security recordings. In cases of usurpation, the immediacy of the report and the collection of digital or testimonial evidence are essential. After cross-referencing the accounts, the officers warned the intruders of the legal consequences, which led to the voluntary abandonment of the home without the need for a forced eviction.
The perfect plan: three days of squatting in just a few hours 😅
It seems the aspiring lifetime tenants confused Camí de Jesús with a resort offering flexible check-in. They claimed to have been enjoying the property for three days, but reality caught them off guard: they hadn't even had time to order a welcome pizza. In the end, the only move they made was towards the exit, proving that in Palma, squatting is an express service that doesn't include returns.
