As difficult as it may be in the heat of the moment, the best thing to do in this circumstance is to initially act like nothing is wrong, and then quietly alert the authorities ASAP. If you just kick them out, they’ll find someone else to do the work, but they’ll be more careful with that next person. You don’t want to scare them into the wind, because then investigators will have a much harder time.
