When her grandparent’s health started failing earlier this year, Jessie Larson says a homeless man arrived claiming to be sent from Veterans Affairs as a caretaker. Now she says the home is full of dozens of homeless people living in the basement, creating a squatter situation that she says Anchorage police have been slow to respond to.
Squatters infiltrate Anchorage home, destroying property and terrorizing homeowners The house at the corner of Eagle Street and East 14th Avenue sits boarded up, paint peeling, used condoms are in the yard near the plywood with 'Keep Out!" spray painted in red.“She didn’t know anybody was down there because they would break in through the door down here, and it’s cut off through the top floor,” Larson said.
“They were just everywhere — chairs, random chairs on the floor, in the bedroom, five people on the bed,” Larson said. “Just everywhere, and when we walked in that day, when the cops came, and we took my grandma, there was some girl shooting up in her foot, smoking meth. There was somebody cooking in the kitchen. My grandma didn’t even know who he was.”Larson says she has repeatedly called Anchorage police and reported the problems online.
APD says officers, at some points, did respond and investigate, and that “when probably cause existed,” criminal charges were filed. A spokesperson also said that the department advised Larson to pursue civil action.
