Evicted group ‘forced to squat by £600 local rent’
SQUATTERS unceremoniously evicted from an east London cafe early yesterday were forced onto the streets to begin with by soaring rents.
Security firm County Enforcement emptied the former hipster cafe less than 24 hours after the homeless group moved in.
The squatters were left stranded with all their belongings in Roach Road, Hackney Wick, while heavies looked on.
