Tacoma home known as crime 'hotspot' shut down after monthslong investigation 

Wow police actually shut something down before the people had to band together and do it themselves like in 1989?

Why don't you talk to the company that owns the property? Looks like this property was sold in 2021 to a REIT based in Chicago but has LLC branches in several states. I learned this in just a few minutes, its all public info online. I wouldn't be surprised if they have problem homes like this across the country.

Making yourself a target my brother. Prayers up. 🙏

Didn't know you could shut down a house.

It takes 50 complaints to shut down a drug house? You would think 9 or 10 complaints would be enough. I live about 3 miles from this place but. If it happened next door to me I might have to get out my shotgun sooner, rather than later. The police need to realize this.

I’m so glad the people at that house are gone. Places like this destroy the sanctity and peace of an entire neighborhood.

Tacoma is my home even tho I don't live there anymore. I'm so glad they did this!

Wow right down the street from my old house.

glad this ending looks positive. hopefully the building doesn't get squatters or continued drive bys

Yeah, Tacoma made homelessness illegal and now they moved to the weigh station on 224th and Mountain Highway. Removed cement barriers. Now last night my good friend’s business right down the street was broken into this morning. I did warn them about this new encampment. This is all BS. Why are we even paying any tax anymore? We get no services.

Cops always 'take their time' when you need help, but if someone calls them on you, they show up guns drawn, swearing at you to get hands up.. and when you reach for your ID.... BAMM 7 Shots in the head...

It's such a fuxking shame that GOOD people end up bowing and capitulate to the bad ones. This man radiates peace, and since we live in a place where (for better or worse) we can't legally solve our own problems, we wait and suffer and fear leaving the house while the cops take their time, often sadly too late. It's seriously a shame. I totally understand that we can't have every moron going and acting out vigilantism which may or may not be justified, but if an entire neighborhood is essentially being held hostage, it bothers me deeply that we lack the rights to band together and handle the problem ourselves. You can, of course, but then YOU'LL get swiftly punished. Funny how someone can be terrorizing an area, cops don't show for months or years. You guys group up and vanquish that monster, cops are there in 5 minutes to arrest you 😅🤦‍♂️ On a side note, as a straight man, that cop is gorgeous and in the wrong industry 😂😂😂

okay, now KEEP them in jail, please.

Why did this take months to shut down🤦🏾

glad no one died before they did something

This is happening all over Washington, couple of bad houses around my area were shut down aswell, atleast our state government can do something right

I live down the street from here, and I find it funny how the news failed to mention that those people were drug addicts who broke into that hone and squatted, broke into our vehicles, or stole water from houses. Report the whole story next time.

The police allowed this for far far far to long. The cops I bet were forced to actually do their jobs. Takes them forever to show up to any emergency call

Editors?? "monthlong" IS NOT A WORD.

It's about time that it has been shut down hopefully for good

I wish a certain HOTSPOT near me would disappear...or some such... Getting tired of all the gunshots...

Please don't de-fund the police. We need them.

That's right, cops. Take your time, no rush.

😢

It's like getting rid of Roaches in your home

Whats the address does anybody know?

Is monthslong all one word?

Why wait months? Take care of the problem when it first starts

You know if someone lived there and cut the grass kept it nice. They could have lived there for awhile and been in a house safe and warm. People be neighborly!

Always keep an eye out for the Sun 🌞 People

idk had I been in that neighborhood I think that house might have had an unfortunate accident and ended up in ashes

It's best to call the police in the past I've seen people get shot in the face for trying to play hero. This ain't the day & time you can just go talk to people.. because people don't have sound minds anymore people just aren't nice and sometimes you can't compromise..you can lose your life and your just trying to reason or ask questions it ain't worth call the cops do it legally video Camara and everything you can..one guy shot wound and a misunderstanding can take your life or cripple you or endanger your whole family especially when u live in the same neighborhood as where the trouble is..I sold my home in spanaway when the wrong person moved my friend her husband was a pierce county sheriff they lived next door they sold they house to we both moved and even the military family..

For now dude

Whew that cop 🥵

These people are animals. So glad I moved into the rural country side where the only animals I worry about anymore are hawks and foxes getting my chickens.

It’s not the Homes fault, it’s the democrats.

we as a country can't shut down one's home b/c a neighbor doesn't like a particular person. The home owner was probably given numerous warnings b/f they went in.

How to prevent this? Do not live in subdivisions where there is gang activity! Buy a gun!

The entire West Coast is a pit.

They need to make the property owners or managers more accountable for allowing this kind of vermin to move in.

Stop being racist against the peaceful joggers...

Then the police further trash the house by drilling holes in the siding and doing a serious hack job boarding up the windows. Nice for the rest of the neighborhood to look at it and depreciate the neighborhood. Oh! and imagine someone trying to sell a house nearby after seeing the said hack job, lol. Why not just leave it alone and if you are worried about squatters or drugs etc returning then DO YOUR POLICING JOB like the taxpayers require you to do.

It doesn't matter ,criminals will just up shop at another location. Maybe enforcement of criminal law and locking up the problem would help. Hey it is the voters choice anyway. Great job voters 👏

Toilet

House ain't do nuttin. It's a good house, goes to church and sheet. Uall juss don't like it cause it's not the same color as your house.

OK so now the next step is to sit down Tacoma. It's gotten plenty of calls. Lol
