Squatters install 6000l pool in flat
... but 24 hours after firefighters discover full inflatable pool in an empty HLM flat near Nancy, it had vanished again...
SQUATTERS turned a vacant HLM apartment in Laxou, near Nancy, into a secret “swimming” pool, it has been reported.
Firefighters discovered the large inflatable pool in the empty fifth-floor flat early last week after tenants in a property below complained of a leak, Est Republicain newspaper reported.
The door to the flat had been forced and the 6,000-litre pool, which was full according to reports, had been placed on a tarpaulin in the main room of the property.
And the mystery deepened further the following day when authorities arrived to drain the pool, only to discover it had disappeared.
