Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Florida

I am a real estate agent. House thieves moved into a vacant home I have listed, the main thieves have been arrested, but their (gang) still occupies the premises. The local sheriff says this is a civil matter. Now my client has to file suit to have them removed. Is there any other way to get rid of them? So frustrating. They advertise the house on Craig's list to unsuspecting victims, and then take off with the deposits.

An ejectment action is the only way to rid yourself of the vermon.

The owner must start an ejectment action. Make sure all utilities are turned off.
