Los Angeles-Los Angeles resident Blair Hanloh is suspected of committing real estate fraud. It is alleged that Hanloh would take over houses that were foreclosed and rent them out. Hanloh would file quit-claim deeds turning the property over from his name and transferring to his business. However these deeds were false due to the fact that he did not own the houses to begin with. He was discovered when nearby neighbors thought they saw squatters in the foreclosed houses. He is charged with grand theft, recording false instruments and commercial burglary. If convicted he faces up to 21 years in prison.
