MELBOURNE, Fla. – They complained, called law enforcement, and contacted their county commissioners, and now, some neighbors can finally celebrate seeing homes they said were overrun by squatters get knocked to the ground.

In a video watched millions of times since Thursday, Sheriff Wayne Ivey showed a new unit within the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office demolishing a home on Seneca Drive.

“What you’re about to see is what happens to houses here in Brevard County that make the sheriff’s ‘High Intensity Target’ list,” Ivey began the video. “There’s nothing worse than having a bad neighbor, except having a bad neighbor that’s a criminal and trashes up the neighborhood.”

The sheriff said the next house on the demolition list is a property full of trash directly across the street.
