Police are evicting squatters from three properties in Bristol this morning.
Officers arrived on High Street at around 6am after Avon and Somerset Police secured a closure order on the occupied properties yesterday (June 2).
The force says there has been escalating criminality and antisocial behaviour (ASB) at 39-40, 45 and 46 High Street addresses which squatters have occupied over recent weeks.
Number 39 was the first building taken over, in March 2021. Since then internal boundaries have been breached , say police, and numbers 45 and 46 have also been occupied.
