Gwinnett County Police arrested 23 people on charges of criminal trespassing after they were found partying at a residence on Camp Mitchell Road without permission.
No one at the party was related to or even knew the homeowner, police say.
On the evening of June 26, officers responded to a call reporting suspicious activity at the residence. The caller informed 911 dispatch that a group of people were occupying the property without the homeowner’s consent.
Upon arrival, law enforcement officers discovered an active party taking place, with none of the attendees knowing or being related to the homeowner.
In response to the incident, authorities impounded a total of seven vehicles that were present at the scene.
Warrants were subsequently issued for the individuals involved, all of whom were between the ages of 17 and 20. The charges against them are classified as misdemeanor offenses.
In Georgia, it is unlawful to enter another person’s property without explicit approval from the owner. Those found guilty of criminal trespass can face punitive measures, which may include fines, imprisonment, or both.
The Gwinnett County Police Department continues to enforce the law in order to protect both private property rights and the safety of residents.
