Detectives with the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office are investigating an attempted home invasion that occurred Thursday in Porterville.

Deputies were called around noon near Orange Avenue and Leggett Street after a masked man, believed to be in his late teens or early 20s, forced his way into a home, the sheriff’s office said.

A fight broke out when the suspect was confronted by someone inside, but the suspect eventually fled and got into a waiting vehicle.

No injuries were reported.
