For the fifth time this year a bomb threat to a Bakersfield call center has forced evacuations.
The threat was reported this morning around 10:40 a.m. after it was found written on a bathroom wall at Conduent, which is located on 34th Street.
After searching the building, police were able to determine the building was safe.
Similar to previous instance, the buildings that have been threatened have similarly been determined to be safe.
The last threat reported came in as a call last Thursday.
Police say they are working to find out who is making these threats and where they are coming from.
