“We breached the bathroom door and encountered a very thorough vacuuming job being done by a Roomba Robotic Vacuum cleaner,” Deputy Brian Rogers wrote.
By Tim Elfrink Tim Elfrink Editor of the Morning Mix Email Bio Follow April 10 at 3:14 AM Pounding noises kept coming from the bathroom in a suburban home outside Portland, Ore. Cops had surrounded the door, and a trained canine panted nearby. The officers unholstered their guns, shouted that they were police and demanded that the burglary suspect holed up inside let them in.
“There was just immediate laughter,” Sgt. Danny DiPietro, a spokesman for the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, said in an interview with The Washington Post. “They didn’t know what was going to happen. They’re ready for anything and then it was like, ‘Whoa, what? What’s going on here? Am I being pranked?’"
“There were two gentlemen house sitting for their nephew, who is an adult. They go out to walk the dog and when they come back, they hear something in the bathroom,” DiPietro said. “The door is shut and locked, and they believe someone is in there. So they called the police, like anyone would.” That’s when they surrounded the bathroom, ready for the worst. Whoever was inside wasn’t just ignoring police orders, they were making a commotion as they presumably plotted an escape.
