Five Montgomery County area men are wanted by the Pennsylvania State Police for absconding, and authorities are asking for the public’s help.

In Pottstown, Alvin Kratzer of 130 Chestnut Street is wanted, while in Hanover, Sean Nagle of 3049 Middletown Road has absconded.

Tomas Alvarez, of Kennett Square, Carlos Rivera, of South Coatesville, and Curtis Gray, of Spring City, are the three individuals from Chester county that have absconded.

“Absconding” can mean many things, as the Pennsylvania State Police described on Facebook, when they published a list of absconded sex offenders statewide:

The Pennsylvania State Police are asking for the public’s help in locating “absconded”, or wanted, sexual offenders throughout the commonwealth. Pennsylvania’s Megan’s Law requires individuals convicted of a sexually violent offense to register with the Pennsylvania State Police and to update and verify their information periodically at an approved registration site.

Those offenders who have failed to register, update their information, or verify their information as required are considered to be non-compliant with the Megan’s Law statute. This non-compliance is a felony offense. Once a warrant is issued for their arrest, they are considered “absconded.”

Anyone with a tip is asked to call the Megan’s Law Section at 1-866-771-3170.
