Homeowner Finds Squatter Near Reston Town Center: Police

RESTON, VA -- The owner of a vacant house across the street from Reston Town Center went to the home to complete some repairs when he found a man apparently living there without his permission, police say.

The house is located in the 12000 block of Kinsley Place, and police believe the man -- who was in his 20s -- had moved in at some point between Sept. 18 and Sept. 26, according to a report from the Fairfax County Police Department.

Confronted by the homeowner, the man immediately left the residence, but he left behind items that suggested he had been sleeping in the house, the report states.

Police did not indicate whether they would seek to identify the man and charge him, listing the incident as "unlawful entry."
