TARZANA, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles police responded to a Tarzana neighborhood Tuesday night to investigate an apparent break-in attempt at a mansion.



AIR7 HD was over the scene near Wells Drive and Geyser Avenue just before 11 p.m. as police officers were still at the home investigating.



A shattered sliding glass door in the back of the home was visible as officers searched for evidence.



Police say the homeowners were inside their residence when the break-in happened. One of the homeowners, armed with a shotgun, confronted the suspects and scared them off before they were able to steal anything, police said.



It's unclear how many suspects were involved. No arrests have been made.
