California homeless people are found living inside CAVES 20 feet below street level complete with home furnishings
[MAIL] Rough sleepers in California were found living inside furnished caves dug into the banks of a river 20 feet below street level. The groups were removed from the eight caves - along the Tuolumne River in Modesto - over the weekend, and they were emptied of belongings, furniture and 7,600 lbs of rubbish, filling two trucks and a trailer. Some of the caves were decorated with murals, had broken floor tiles and one even had a makeshift fireplace with a chimney. Modesto Police Department said: 'This particular area has been plagued by vagrancy and illegal camps, which have raised concerns due to the fact that these camps were actually caves dug into the riverbanks.' It comes as Los Angeles carries out its annual homeless count to try to take an accurate snapshot of the rough sleeper population in the city, after 75,500 were found to be sleeping rough in the county on any given night last year.
