Nebraska family calls police on their Roomba thinking it was a burglar

Said they could hear footsteps coming from upstairs

BELLEVUE, Neb. (KLKN) — The Bellevue Police Department is reporting an unusual call from its overnight shift.

Officials said on Twitter that they were called to a burglary in progress, but when officers arrived, the situation wasn’t quite as scary as it was made out to be.

They say a family reported hearing footsteps from someone moving around upstairs.

Officers instead found a Roomba robotic vacuum scooting around, presumably doing its job.
