KENT, Wash. — A car slammed into the living room of a house in Kent Tuesday morning. A doorbell video captured a woman running away from the scene and so far no arrests have been made.

The wreck happened around 7:30 a.m. and seven people were inside the house at the time.

“She broke everything, she broke the kitchen, and the living room,” said Nancey Pereira.

Pereira said she was at work when she got a call from her family saying there was a car in her living room.

“Everyone is okay, except for my grandma, because she’s old, and she’s so nervous right now,” said Pereira.

The family lives on the corner of 35th Place and South 240th Street.

“All you heard was a big bang,” said Kalie Brunette.

Brunette lives across the street, she and her stepdad saw a woman get out of the car. Her front door camera captured the suspect running away.

“I saw a female running towards the other side of the street, and as she ran, she fell on her face got up, and just kept going,” said Brunette.

Brunette said the suspect ran towards a house across the street, where there was some suspicious activity going on.

“I saw some people it looked like breaking into a house,” said Brunette.

Officers at the scene told us the car was stolen, and neighbors were not at all surprised.

“It’s a KIA, it’s one of the most popular stolen cars right now,” said Brunette.

Thankfully, no one was injured, but Nancey says one of her bulldogs was startled and took off.

“She just runaway in this way, so we are trying to find her right now,” said Pereira.

The dog is white with light brown spots, one eye is blue, and the other is hazel.

If you happen to see the missing bulldog or have any information on the suspect’s whereabouts, you are urged to give Kent Police a call.
