The Local Police of El Vendrell have prevented an illegal occupation at a residence on Frederic Marès Deulovol street, after neighbors alerted authorities to suspicious activity at the property.

The home was equipped with a security door designed to prevent occupations, but the intruders managed to remove it to gain access. During the night, neighbors detected noises and an open window, which prompted the call to the security forces.
A patrol, supported by the canine unit, arrived at the scene. Upon verifying that the anti-squatting door had been dismantled and hearing murmurs inside, officers entered the home through a window. They found three people lying on the floor in one of the rooms.
Following police procedures and the identification of those involved, officers informed the individuals that they had to vacate the property and opened the corresponding proceedings. The security door was found inside the house.
The City Council of El Vendrell has a specialized unit within the Local Police to act quickly in such cases. According to municipal sources, citizen collaboration is a key element in allowing immediate intervention and preventing illegal settlement in homes.
