A 75-year-old woman found a burglar in her home after getting out of her shower this morning, sheriff's deputies say.

The woman heard loud banging on her front door in the 600 block of West Regina Drive about 10:30 a.m. and found the man standing insider her hallway after she got dressed and walked toward the front door, according to the Spokane County Sheriff's Office.

The man ran out of the home then ran westbound on Regina toward Mill Road. Deputies say he forced his way into the home through the front door.

The man is described as white, 18 years old with an average build and wearing blue jeans and a blue coat.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Crime Check at (509) 456-2233.
