A Toronto couple returned home from a 12-day European vacation this week to find two people living in their car.
Kayla Duplantis-Whitewick and her partner returned home from a 12-day European vacation this week to a shocking discovery.
"When we'd taken a look at the car it was completely full of things, there was litter everywhere," Duplantis-Whitewick said, "it was very clear that it had been turned into a shelter, essentially."
Her car and car port were filled with someone else's belongings, with garbage strewn around, and the vehicle severely damaged. But no one was found.
"There were pipes and burnt up tinfoil and there's residue on the back seat that I don't really know what it is to be honest," she explained. "Everything's broken, shredded and unusable."
The next morning, Duplantis-Whitewick went with her partner to check again and they heard a rustling coming from the area.
"We did find a couple in the car," she said, adding that they called Toronto police.
Officers arrived in time to arrest the man, but the woman, Duplantis-Whitewick said, fled with a bag.
