BPD is warning residents of a phishing scam. The department says residents are receiving calls from a person claiming to be a BPD sergeant. The caller then informs the victim of a warrant for their arrest. The scammer tells the victim they can avoid jail time by paying off the warrant. Anyone that receives one of these calls is encouraged to report it to the BPD at (661) 327-7111. Also, if you think you may have a warrant call Patriot Bail Bonds at 325-BAIL for a free warrant check.
