They can if they have good evidence pointing to the fact that the person is in the residence at the time. If they can see you in the window they have the right to enter the residence and apprehend you. They not always do this though, it depends on the seriousness of the warrant in question.

In some countries such as Australia, a Police Officer may enter a private residence under 460 of the crimes act. This applies when the Officer believes on reasonable grounds that a person who had committed a serious indictable offence is in the premises (pretty much anything from theft upwards). This entry may be made only for the purposes of an arrest and not a search. However, if the Officer sees a suspicious item in plain view or when searching rooms for the suspect, this item may be seized and further charges laid. Police may also enter any presmises that is a public place (if paid entry it becomes a public place including a private residence) or to stop a breach of the peace that is occuring or to prevent a breach that is about to occur (Case Law Ghani V JONES)
