June 10, 2024 - LOS ANGELES – California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) officials are seeking a person who walked away from a Male Community Reentry Program (MCRP) facility in Los Angels County on Sunday, June 9, 2024.

At about 6:13 p.m., officials were alerted that incarcerated person Anthony Tarin had walked out of an MCRP facility. At 6:30 p.m., agents were notified that Tarin had removed his GPS device. CDCR’s Office of Correctional Safety and local law enforcement agencies have been notified and are assisting in the search.

Anthony Tarin, 53, is 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 155 pounds. He has hazel eyes and brown hair. He was last seen wearing a gray T-shirt and gray sweatpants.

Tarin was received from Los Angels County on Oct. 24, 2023. He was sentenced to two years, eight months for attempted robbery, a second-strike offense. He has been housed at MCRP Los Angeles County since Apr. 8, 2024.

Anyone who sees Tarin or has knowledge of his whereabouts should contact law enforcement or call 9-1-1.

The MCRP allows eligible offenders committed to state prison to serve the end of their sentences in the re-entry center and provides them the programs and tools necessary to transition from custody to the community. It is a voluntary program for male offenders who have two years of less left to serve. The program links offenders to a range of community-based rehabilitative services that assist with substance use disorders, mental health care, medical care, employment, education, housing, family reunification and social support.

Since 1977, 99 percent of all people who have left an adult institution, camp, or community-based program without permission have been apprehended.
