At noon on Thursday, two adult Redmond residents were inside their home in the 16000 block of Northeast 50th Way when they heard the doorbell ring and then saw someone in their back yard. They heard loud noises and believed someone had entered their home, according to Becky Range, Redmond Police Department public information officer.

After going into a locked bedroom, one resident quickly called 911 and the dispatcher stayed on the line, talking them through the situation. The resident reported hearing rummaging sounds downstairs, which the dispatcher then passed on to officers, who arrived and quickly established a perimeter around the residence.

Officers spotted the subject inside, removed him from the home and took him into custody.  He had made entry by breaking a bedroom window, and officers found related property from the residence on him, along with a screwdriver and dark gloves. He was booked into jail for burglary and second-degree possession of stolen property.

“The 911 dispatcher noted later that our resident was great on the phone, remaining calm and providing clear updates on what she was hearing in her house, which allowed the dispatcher to provide updates to responding officers,” Range said.
