A Redmond resident who was away from their home helped police thwart a burglary in progress on Thursday in the Woodlands area of Education Hill.

At about 2:30 p.m., the resident received an alert via their home camera with motion-sensor capabilities, said Redmond Police Department public information officer Becky Range.

The resident began watching a live video feed of an intruder in the home, called 911 and police quickly responded. One male suspect from Seattle was apprehended at the scene and arrested.

“The camera footage has amazing quality and makes for great evidence, so we are very grateful to the homeowner for acting so quickly and turning over the footage to the police department,” Range said.
