“The Bay area has one of the highest foreclosure rates in the county and as a result squatters are popping up all around.
With thousands of foreclosed homes in the Bay area, it’s attracting some unwanted visitors in many parts of the city; something Tampa police officers have caught on to.
“A lot of things we do is go out and look at abandoned properties,” says Corporal Lisa Parashis.

The problem is, it wasn’t their home to begin with.”
