Macon, GA – Two individuals were arrested Wednesday after Bibb County Sheriff’s Office S.R.T. Unit deputies assisted Macon-Bibb County Code Enforcement officers in removing alleged squatters from a home on Heard Avenue.
According to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, deputies joined Code Enforcement during an operation at the residence, where two people were allegedly found inside without permission. Both individuals were taken into custody at the scene. Deputies reported that one of the suspects was allegedly in possession of a stolen firearm at the time of the arrest.
The Sheriff’s Office said the pair were transported to the Bibb County Law Enforcement Center without incident. No injuries were reported during the operation, and officials did not release additional details about the firearm or how long the individuals had allegedly been occupying the property.
Squatter removal calls have become increasingly common across Middle Georgia, prompting local agencies to coordinate on nuisance property enforcement. Operations like the one on Heard Avenue often involve both deputies and county code officers to secure unsafe structures, remove unauthorized occupants, and support neighborhood safety efforts.
The Sheriff’s Office did not immediately release the suspects’ names or charges, and further updates are expected as the investigation continues. Residents in the area are encouraged to report suspicious activity or unauthorized occupancy to local authorities.
Community members with information related to property trespassing or criminal activity can contact the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office non-emergency line or Macon Regional Crimestoppers.
