A group of troublesome squatters were evicted from a Lakelands property on Friday.
Mandurah Police acting Senior Sergeant Anthony Nemeth said the West Australian Supreme Court had handed down a warrant to evict the inhabitants of a Dyer Lane property after repeated complaints from neighbours of anti-social behaviour.

Senior Sergeant Nemeth said the people were evicted without incident and it showed Mandurah Police's zero-tolerance policy on anti-social behaviour.
