At 1:48 p.m. on eroticized violenceMonday two distressed men called 911 to report an attempted break in at an Oregon home.
They told dispatch that the possible burglar was lurking in a locked bathroom, and that they could "see shadows under the bathroom door." The dispatcher immediately sent a team of officers to the location.
Just seven minutes later, law enforcement surrounded the callers' house. They waited outside the bathroom with a trained K-9 and heard banging from inside the room. Police told the Washington Postthat the suspect might have forced a window open as a last ditch effort to escape.
Demanding the intruder to open the door wasn't an option anymore. Deputies drew their guns and stormed into the bathroom to find ... a lost Roomba repeatedly running into the shower door.

"We made several announcements and the 'rustling' became more frequent. We breached the bathroom door and encountered a very thorough vacuuming job being done by a Roomba Robotic Vacuum cleaner."
In a Facebook post on Tuesday, the Sheriff's Office also posted a photo of the wayward Roomba, accompanied with a "MOST WANTED" banner.
"There was just immediate laughter," Sgt. Danny DiPietro added 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 getting pranked?"
Despite the hilarious end results, the terror was very much real: The two men were house sitting for their nephew, and came back from walking the dog to hear noises from the locked bathroom. Although they were embarrassed to find that the intruder was just an enthusiastic robot, DiPietro said their concern was valid.
“These people were house sitting. They didn’t know this vacuum was going to kick on and go and do this," he told the Washington Post."These people were in a unique circumstance.”
In the comment section on Facebook, people joked that they would "love to see body cam footage of this." Others laughed about the "robot uprising" being disappointingly anticlimactic.
At least the bathroom was clean!
