Indiana Couple Charged With Squatting In Vacant Home Facing Foreclosure

In West Lafayette, Indiana, the Journal & Courier reports:

• A husband and wife accused of setting up a methamphetamine lab in a vacant Lafayette duplex last May have been arrested again - this time found living in a West Lafayette residence. Heather M. Lowe, 32, and James A. Lowe, 40, were arrested Monday on suspicion of receiving stolen property. They are being held in the Tippecanoe County Jail, each on a $100,000 surety bond. Sgt. Cindy Marion of the West Lafayette Police Department said the Lowes are believed to have been living at 4525 Joshua Court for about three weeks.

• The owners have moved out of state, and the home is in foreclosure, she said. "They had been living there as a family," Marion said, explaining that the Lowes moved in furniture and other belongings. "They were living there as though they owned or rented the home." [...] Marion said neighbors noticed the family moving in but were not suspicious. She said police spoke Tuesday with the legal owners, who confirmed that the Lowes were never told they could move in.
