LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State Police say 150 people who were not complying with conditions of the state's sex offender
registry law have been arrested.

Police said Wednesday they requested 405 additional arrest
warrants as part of a coordinated statewide sweep.

The effort involved more than 70 law enforcement agencies
working together in early February.

Police say more than 2,500 sex offenders have been arrested for
noncompliance in similar operations since late 2005.

Sex offenders are supposed to verify their addresses with law
enforcement agencies at least once a year. Some felony offenders
must report more often.
