Officers strategically placed eviction signs around the camp to ensure whoever was building up the abandoned island would get the message.“It’s pretty impressive, honestly, the number of structures has exponentially grown over the last couple of years,” a deputy said in the video.
“Obviously they ran out of supplies, so they are most likely going to try to look for … stealing stuff to try to complete it,” Pedri said. “It’s truly amazing to see what these people are doing out there.” It’s common for residents in the area to camp on the island, but the unusual wooden structures are a cause for alarm for officials.Multiple makeshift structures were built on the island, with most being concealed behind trees.The multiple wooden structures are believed to be made from wood “stolen from docks,” which poses a risk in itself amid Florida’s tropical climate.
Officials have not been able to return to the island this week due to weather, but local public workers have begun demolishing the absurd island structures.
