Pictures show how £4.2m house was left in tatters by scrounging squatters

It took squatters just two months to turn this £4.2million Bristol mansion from a luxury pad to a squalid hovel.



Thankfully, those who had been living in Clifton Wood House for free since February were removed by 50 riot police yesterday.



But as these pictures show, the nightmare isn't over for the owners of the eight-bedroom property after the scrounging group left a trail of destruction in their wake.



The nightmare may soon start for another home owner after one member said his group would 'find another squat' as he left the Grade II listed building.



Yesterday its 46-foot-long swimming pool area was a shadow of its former self following the squatters' stay. They had daubed graffiti on the walls and hurled a road sign into the water.

What took them so damn long in evicting them? They were obviously trespassing, which I'm pretty sure gives the Police the right to arrest/chuck 'em out.

I don't understand this. The owners granted them permission to be there?

I don't think so
