DATE & TIME: 11-15-2017

LOCATION: Barneston, Nebraska

OFFENSE: Attempted Theft By Deception

CASE #: 2017-6269

A Barneston resident called the Gage County Sheriffs’ Office and notified an investigator she had received a telephone call from someone claiming to be with the Attorney General’s Office, telling her there had or would be a warrant issued for her arrest unless she contacted them immediately.

The resident stated she believed the incident to be an attempt to defraud her and did not call them back to give them any information.
