Four men were arrested in an Atlanta housing community for squatting in a home and running an alleged illegal strip club out of the residence.

A SWAT team infiltrated the home Sunday, arresting four men who were illegally living in a home in the Thaxton Reserve community in South Fulton, Georgia.

Neighbors told WSB-TV that the group of four were “neighbors from hell” who ran an alleged strip club on the weekends, street raced up and down the residential streets, and occasionally had live horses roaming the yard.

According to WSB-TV, neighbors regularly complained about the squatters, but nothing was done until Sunday when a SWAT team raided the trashed property.
