A Chicago mother and nursing student was left fearing for her family’s safety after video shows the moment she came home to find three alleged squatters inside her home – with two strangers lying in her bed, naked.
Yanicee Miles, a 27-year-old mother of three, came home to find three strangers inside her first-floor Chicago apartment around 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, according to FOX 32.
“Two weeks before, I got a call when I was at work, and they told me that somebody kicked down my door,” Miles said, adding that she did not expect to see anyone inside her home.
When Miles arrived at her home on Sunday, she found the alleged squatters had returned – with two individuals making themselves at home in her bedroom.
