That has to be one of the most boring un-eventful police related videos of all time.

I do feel sorry for some of the spectators that they are unable to buy thick enough tinfoil to construct their hats out of though.

Anybody know the full story behind it?

(I think) the guy who owned the property owed the council business rates or something like that. What powers are there in relation to police getting involved in evictions?

Removal of trespassers? I think but may well be mistaken

Possibly, under section 114 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, Offence of squatting in a residential building.

No that wouldn't apply because at the time they entered the property as tenants they were not trespassers and it was not adverse to the owner so cannot be adverse possession. I think there is a case that gives a common law power to remove trespassers
