Police are investigating a home near Torrey Pines and Smoke Ranch that may have been taken over by squatters.
"I'm just a no drama person," said neighbor Melvin Brown. "I don't want any drama."
Detectives say they've arrested two women who were inside the home for outstanding warrants. It's believed that a woman and possibly others are squatting.
"Police can't get in, I don't know what the deal is," said Brown.
According to law enforcement, detectives cannot enter a home without a warrant without an urgent reason. That can make it more difficult to track down and identify alleged squatters.
"It's a frightening thing not to know who they are," said one neighbor who was too afraid to be identified.
This is happening after an unrelated crime recently occurred about four blocks away.
"They shot her dead, in her own driveway," said the woman.
Police say Sheri Aoyagi was killed after running into burglars outside her home. Two suspects have been arrested in that case.
