A pair of squatters, including an OnlyFans model, were arrested after allegedly trashing a Seattle property and leaving behind drugs and a stripper pole in the living room.
The home they illegally took over, worth an estimated $937,400, was a mid-century two-bed property in North Queen Anne, Seattle.
Leka Devatha, the property landlord, realized the couple had illegally broken the locks and moved into her home in October.
The brazen couple even started doing their own renovations while trashing the place.
Devatha told her followers on social media: 'A week ago, a man and a woman entered one of my vacant units, changed the locks, and took over.
'They are now refusing to leave, claiming that they signed the lease with someone else on Craiglist.

'I went over to meet the squatters myself, and saw that they had ripped out the carpets, taken out the door trim, and God knows what else.'
She said that cops told her it was a civil matter and she had to go through the courts to get them evicted - but she was determined to get the illegal tenants out.
Devatha worked tirelessly with her attorney and the police to throw the pair out.
After three weeks of settling into the 1500sqft property, which rents for $2650 a month, the squatters were finally arrested by police.

They argued that they thought the owner lived out of state and believed it would take nine months for them to be kicked out - but still fought back while being handcuffed and placed in the back of a cop car.
One of the most shocking home renovations the squatting pair made to Leka's home is that they added a stripper pole to the living room.
The female squatter, who could be seen being cuffed and shouting at cops as she was dragged from the property, is from Bellingham and lists herself as an 'Only Fans' influencer on LinkedIn, according to KOIN.
Devatha said that she thinks the woman was planning to make content in her home.
There was also drug paraphernalia, a mattress on the ground, trash and mess everywhere, an uneaten cake in the kitchen, and carved pumpkins on the property ready for Halloween.
Devatha added: 'They told me they were doing some plumbing and electrical work, so that just leads me to believe they are destroying my property one room at a time.'
They also had filed a change of address and started receiving mail.

Leka Devatha said about the stripper pole: 'I don't know if she was planning on creating content here or what she was doing, but it's just scary to think that that's what they were going to use the unit for.'
She told KIRO: 'It's been a stressful situation and I just feel emotionally relieved. Not just that we got the squatters out, but we are making the neighborhood safe again.'
Davatha's attorney Synthia Melton said: 'I was extremely surprised to find out when she said the police said this was a civil matter.
'It's very clear somebody broke the lock, they changed the locks, and they entered a property that they were not authorized to, and now they're refusing to leave.
'You know, that's trespassing, breaking, and entering, whatever you want to call it. It's not a civil matter.'
It took four Seattle Police officers about 45 minutes to remove the squatters.
