CrimeStoppers and the Honolulu Police Department want to warn the public about a phone scam that is occurring.

There has been a recent case where the complainant received a phone call from a male who stated that they were with the Honolulu Police Department and that the complainant was wanted for a warrant. The name that the male is using is an actual name of a Honolulu Police Sergeant. They were then instructed to pay a monetary fine at a Federal Deposit Box at a local supermarket.

Law enforcement agencies including the Honolulu Police Department will never contact the public and request for payment to be made. Do not make any payments upon receiving such requests.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call CrimeStoppers at (808) 955-8300. The public may now send anonymous web tips to www.honolulucrimestoppers.org or via the P3 Tips app.
