LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Sheriff’s Office said it is attempting to identify and locate a man who broke into a Kelseyville home on Sunday night and assaulted a woman who lived there.
The sheriff’s office said the home invasion assault occurred at 10 p.m. Sunday in a neighborhood on Edgewater Drive in the Kelseyville Riviera.
A male subject forced his way into a residence and assaulted an adult female until he was confronted by the woman’s husband, according to a report from sheriff’s spokesperson, Lauren Berlinn.
Berlinn said the assault victim’s husband was able to physically restrain the intruder and remove him from the residence. The intruder then ran away on foot.
The subject who broke into the home is described as a white male adult with short hair, wearing a dark-colored hooded sweatshirt.
Berlinn said the man was reported to have a tattoo on his upper chest, but no description of the tattoo could be provided.
The motive behind the assault is unclear and the man who committed it is still at large, Berlinn said.
The sheriff’s office is asking those living in the Edgewater and surrounding neighborhoods to review any cameras or video doorbell cameras for footage of any suspicious subjects.
