A squatter who put a couple’s home up for sale, changed the locks and even paid property tax is back in the house after being released from jail, and police aren’t willing to help in Baton Rogue, Louisiana
A squatter who tried to sell a couple’s home for nearly a quarter of a million dollars four months ago has been caught breaking into the same house again.
Joseph Guerin from Lousiana was caught breaking into the ranch-style property in Baton Rogue, Louisiana, earlier this week after owners Richard Craven and his wife Kristen were alerted by neighbours.
It is the second time Guerin has been found in the property, and the police aren’t willing to help.
Richard and Kristen inherited the four-bedroom, 3,200-square-foot home back in 2022 following the death of Kristen’s parents. Intending to remodel and sell the home, they paid a visit in April this year to find Guerin had not only broken into the four-bedroom home but placed all the utilities under his name and even changed the locks.
