As it turns out, the crew that was showing up to vandalize the property mentioned in our previous post were all arrested on the spot! It seems they also had keys to the house, and to several others also listed by that brokerage. So, for all their gall, they will pay… perhaps so will whomever it was that got them the keys???
Agent brings buyer to show foreclosed property, crew shows up to remove copper pipes etc.
Today, one of our agents showed up with her buyer to show another broker’s listing, and as they pull up, a van with a bunch of guys gets there, and enters the house, talking about pulling out all the metal in the place, including the copper pipes, furnace liners, hot water boilers, etc. The crew ignored our agent and her buyer as if they were not even there.
Our agent called the listing broker and told them what was going on, then called the police. The police, as well as several agents from the listing brokerage then showed up. As we speak, the police are there, interviewing our agent, the listing agents, and of course detaining the culprits.
We have seen many houses where the copper and other valuable assets have been removed, making the house far more costly to buy. But this time, we got the culprits… !!!!
Just goes to show that attentive agents with some sense of justice are still out there, and still trying to protect property from vandalism… way to go!!!
