    A city has reportedly been overrun by homeless people who destroyed a deserted motel and left hundreds of kilos of faeces in the street, its disgruntled mayor has claimed.<\/p>\n

    Casper in Wyoming, US, has seen about 200 unhoused people move in and create a "mess" in its streets and parks, Mayor Bruce Knell claims.<\/p>\n

    "They destroyed everything," he told Cowboy State Daily. "It\u2019s horrible."<\/p>\n

    Employees of the city told the news outlet they'd had to scoop up about 230kg of human faeces from around the city's downtown area.<\/p>\n

    "In desperate times people do desperate things, and unfortunately we\u2019re the ones left having to deal with it," Knell continued.<\/p>\n

    He even said a group of squatters had moved into the vacant Econo Lodge motel and caused millions of dollars' worth of damage \u2013 even more destruction than a flood that initially forced the place to close down earlier this year.<\/p>\n

    The property was condemned by the city and boarded up after shock images revealed the destruction caused by damaged water lines.<\/p>\n

    Knell said the building was "[un]inhabitable and unsafe" following the destruction and previously explained the building had stopped operating as a motel in November of last year.<\/p>\n
