Stuck with bad tenant during lockdown - what would you do?

So I've been dealing with a bad tenant situation since February of this year.  Filed an L1 to evict for non-payment of rent and also filed an L3 because the tenant finally agreed to vacate but then changed their mind after the province of Ontario declared an eviction moratorium in March because of the pandemic.  Now she's essentially saying she doesn't have to pay anything because we can't force her out.  Her family has also become involved with some very sketchy characters in the drug and sex trafficking trade that have made threats to the property jeopardizing the lives of anyone coming and going from the property.   

I requested an emergency hearing from the LTB last week and was rejected.  Right now we're stuck with a tenant that's not only bleeding us dry but also endangering the lives of anyone associated with the property.  Since the LTB won't help I'm not sure where to turn.  I know these are extraordinary circumstances because of the lockdown but does anyone have any advice or suggestions?  We just want them gone.
