Sussex County Sheriff Michael F. Strada has issued a warning that some Sussex County residents have reported receiving scam telephone calls within the last few days from someone stating they are calling from the Sussex County Sheriff’s Office.

Any Sussex County resident who has received a call threatening arrest by the Sussex County Sheriff’s Office, should call the Sussex County Prosecutor’s Office at 973-383-1570, Extension4526, to report the call.
