A couple of things you might try - - but keep it friendly and low key:
1) Take a photo of their car (if they have one) showing the license plate and safety sticker. If either license or safety is expired (good chance if they're squatters) they may wish to leave rather than have to discuss that with the police.
2) Explain that unpaid rent is considered reportable income on a tax return, or other financial documents (EBT, etc) The owner of the property considers the value to be $1500 per month. Could you have their names and social security info as they are considered residents, so this can be reported?
In the long run it might be better just to let the police handle it, or maybe just suggest those things (above) in a letter that you can leave when they're not around. Whatever you do, don't give them any incentive to trash the place on their way out.
