RV storage lot taken over by squatters, damaging more than 50 campers in City of Industry


A luxury RV company is trying to evict a group of squatters who took over a storage lot of campers in the city of Industry.

"We've noticed that several of the trailers have been burning," worker Marilyn Martinez said. "There's homeless here sometimes late at night. They're coming in and out."

Martinez, who works near the lot, said a city of squatters started taking over the overflow storage area months ago. Since then, they've piled up massive mounds of trash and debris. The company, Black Series RV, said trespassers are now living in at least 50 campers, which are worth anywhere between $40,000 and $100,000.

They tried using security teams to retrieve them but said the few they recovered were trashed. In other instances, they gave up after fearing for their safety.

Martinez said she and her coworkers walk in pairs to their cars when they're near the lot.

The property manager said it's going to cost $80,000 to clean up the trash. Clean up efforts were underway on wednesday, March 26. They hope to have everyone out within two days.

LA County Supervisor Hilda Solis said the property owner won a court order to remove the occupants. An outreach team is helping them find housing.

Solis released a statement saying in part, "The RV storage lot near Azusa and Gale is located within the boundaries of the City of Industry. Although the City does not own the site, this issue is a private dispute between the property owners and a private party. It is my understanding that on September 6, 2024, the property owner initiated legal proceedings to regain possession of the site. After completing the necessary legal steps, the owner recently obtained a judgment for possession. I am aware that a writ of possession has been filed — a court order that authorizes the property owner to take legal action to remove anyone occupying the site. Once issued, it is expected that the property owners will take the appropriate steps to enforce it.The County of Los Angeles does not have jurisdiction over land use matters in incorporated cities like the City of Industry, but my office has been proactive in addressing concerns at the lot. Recently, I engaged the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach Services Team (HOST) to conduct outreach, and they will be returning this week to
