News Summary

• Flash Shelton stars in A&E's "Squatters," which follows him and his team as they help property owners reclaim homes from unauthorized occupants.
• A camera alert or alarm can give you something that becomes much harder to get later: evidence of when someone showed up and how they got inside.
• Shelton says he was "just being a good son" and felt he had to protect his mother after the squatters took advantage of the empty house.
• No single number showing how many homes are affected nationwide, the growing legislative response and documented cases make one thing clear: unauthorized home takeovers are a real problem.
