| Subject: UK squatting set to become a criminal offense--Yes! Fri Aug 31, 2012 6:15 pm | |
| Squatting in a residential building in England and Wales becomes a criminal offence on Saturday, meaning squatters would face jail or a fine.
Ministers said it would offer better protection for homeowners and "slam shut the door on squatters once and for all".
The maximum penalty will be six months in jail, a £5,000 fine, or both.
