(BIVN) – Police sweeps continue in Leilani Estates, following the arrests of two people suspected of trespassing on Christmas Day.

On December 28, the sweeps – called a cooperative effort between police, the community and Leilani Community Association – netted another seven people wanted for outstanding warrants.

“In June of this year, Leilani Estates was devastated with the lava flow that forced some residents to vacate their homes,” police wrote in a previous media release. “Some of the unoccupied residences have become a haven for homeless people and a focal point for criminal activity. Hawaiʻi Island Police working in cooperation with the residents and the Community Association, have started to clear the area of people that occupy homes illegally. The Community Association has also begun efforts to notify the owners of the vacant homes to take action in safeguarding them and posting no trespassing signs to assist the police in enforcing trespassing laws.”
