As illegal squatters taking over homes across Southern California grow increasingly common, one man has dedicated his life to fighting those squatters and protecting homeowners. Known as “The Squatter Hunters,” Flash Shelton, 57, is the man behind the operation focused on helping homeowners clear their properties of squatters while fighting to change laws that protect squatters’ rights.

Recently, squatters took over a Beverly Crest mansion and turned it into a wild party house where hundreds of rowdy guests would show up every night. In February, another group of squatters took over a Hollywood Hills mansion and used the property to produce OnlyFans content.

Intruders breaking into unoccupied homes and living there illegally has become a growing issue that some homeowners are concerned about.
