Sheriff’s deputies are searching for three men suspected
in a home invasion robbery in Renton.

A man came home around 2:00 p.m.
Thursday and heard glass breaking in the back of the
house.

“He went to the back of the house and was confronted by a
black male suspect with a gun. He basically told him that
if he didn’t do what he told him to, we was going to shoot
him,” said Sgt. Cindi West with the King County Sheriff’s
Office.

Two more men came in behind the gunman and tied up the
homeowner, then the three ransacked the house.

West says the three men ran off a short time later. The
tied up homeowner hopped out of the house and got the
attention of neighbors, who came to his aid. It’s not
clear yet what was stolen.

West says all three suspects spoke Spanish.

The homeowner was not seriously injured.
