A Villages-owned home on Beechwood Avenue on the Historic Side of The Villages was systematically stripped of siding, windows and flooring in broad daylight.
The Villages had purchased the home at 812 Beechwood Ave. as part of the ongoing revitalization effort that has seen numerous old manufactured homes being replaced with site-built homes.
Between July 1 and 14, the Beechwood Avenue home was stripped of anything of value, according to an incident report from the Lady Lake Police Department.
Neighbors told police they saw groups of people coming in and out of the home. One of the men told a neighbor he was a “handyman.” A black BMW was reportedly spotted at the home.
The incident remains under investigation by police.
Last month, a man was arrested after he was found to be squatting in a Villages-owned home on the Historic Side. You can read about that case HERE
