Kennewick police surrounded a home after the owner reported walking in on a burglar, but the suspect managed to get away while officers were responding.
The burglary at 2505 S. Washington St. was reported at 12:40 p.m. Tuesday after Diana Hormel returned to the house and found someone had broken in, said Sgt. Ken Lattin.
Officers determined the suspect likely was still in the home when Hormel arrived but was scared off when she went inside, Lattin said.
She never saw anyone and police have no description of the suspect.
Anyone with information about the burglary can call Tri-Cities Crime Stoppers at call 586-8477 or go to tricitiescrimestoppers.org .
