At approximately 8 a.m. Medina officers responded to a call of a residential burglary in progress in the 2800 block of Evergreen Point Road.

A female occupant was home alone in the master bedroom when she heard noises coming from the exterior of the house. She also heard what sounded like a screen being removed from one the home windows. She then heard a loud bang or crack noise, which sounded like a door being kicked in.

She went near the area of the front door and saw an unknown man standing at the threshold of the kicked open door. She screamed and then proceeded to call 911 immediately.

Police officers from Medina and Clyde Hill conducted an area search for the suspect based upon the description given by the caller. A possible suspect was located in the 3300 block of Evergreen Point Road. He was brought back to the residence where the occupant positively verified him.

Medina police processed and collected evidence at the scene. The suspect was then transported to King County Jail where he was booked for investigation of residential burglary.
