24 squatters occupy $4M Brooklyn brownstone, causing neighborhood distress; police arrest one, evict group.

A group of about 24 squatters took over a vacant $4 million brownstone in Brooklyn, causing distress in the neighborhood through vandalism, theft, and threats to residents. Police intervened after arresting one squatter for criminal mischief. The squatters had used a fraudulent lease linked to the deceased former owner. They have since been evicted, and the building manager hopes they will not return.
