West Seattle woman hides in closet while intruders inside home

SEATTLE — A terrified West Seattle woman was on the phone with a 911 dispatcher as she hid in a closet while intruders were in her house.

The woman heard burglars in her home on Dec. 28 and retreated to a closet.

A recording of the 911 called captured her whispering to a dispatcher while the intruders ransacked her house.

"Oh my God, they're coming. They're coming now.”

As officers got close to her house, their dash cams spotted a man running from the woman's house.

A dispatcher stayed on the phone with her until police were able to go to her door.

Three men were arrested.

Police said one of them dropped a $3,000 diamond ring.

They also said they found a jar of medical marijuana that had been stolen from the house.
