The mole people: Police find 'homeless city' where vagrants - including kids - live in labyrinth of tunnels 25ft below Kansas City

Below the streets of Kansas City, there are deep underground tunnels where a group of vagrant homeless people lived in camps.

These so-called homeless camps have now been uncovered by the Kansas City Police, who then evicted the residents because of the unsafe environment.

Authorities said these people were living in squalor, with piles of garbage and dirty diapers left around wooded areas

According to the KMBC, police first noticed there were soiled diapers around what looked like encampments, meaning that children could be exposed to unsafe living conditions.

Kansas City policeman Jason Cooley told the paper that officers found a series of winding underground tunnels and were directed there because of a recent crime spree.

‘One of the tunnels probably went 20 to 25 feet underground towards the back and veered off in another direction about six feet or so,’ he told the Kansas City Star, adding that they discovered candles and bedding as well in some of the cavern’s alcoves.

It is unclear who exactly the homeless people are, or how they dug such deep entrenchments.


Another sort of shanty-town was found nearby.

Authorities said that the thieves have stolen copper from a nearby grain mill, and according to KMBC, millions of dollars-worth of the crop are at risk of spoiling.

Residents of both were told they needed to vacate the premises, and a ministry organization was on-site to assist any homeless people with shelter needs.

The holes were closed up last Friday after a
police robot searched the caverns.

It would have been better if that had filled it up, leaving the human trash down there.
