LANCASTER \u2013 The local parole office needs your help in locating eight at-large parolees, considered dangerous and a threat to the community, authorities said Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve already been convicted more than three times —\u00a0every single one of them — for felonies, some for sex offenses and some for weapons charges,\u201d said Larry Dorsey, California State Adult Parole Operations Supervisor. \u201cWe want to get them in custody because we do consider them to be dangerous if left out in the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The men pictured in the top row were three of the 20 GPS-monitored paroled gang members considered \u201cthe most dangerous here in the Antelope Valley,\u201d Dorsey said. Since absconding from parole, they have been placed on parolee-at-large (PAL) status, Dorsey added.<\/p>\n

The five parolees pictured in the bottom row are dangerous sex offenders who either cut off their GPS-ankle monitors or never reported to the local parole office after being released from custody, Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese five individuals have been deemed [some] of our worst here in the Antelope Valley,\u201d Dorsey said. \u201cThere are a few repeaters that have absconded numerous times, and again, we\u2019re looking for the public\u2019s assistance to locate these individuals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anyone with information on these parolees is urged to contact Larry Dorsey at the Antelope Valley parole office at 661-729-0530, ext. 265 or 266.<\/p>\n

In late July, authorities issued an urgent plea for help in finding Romie Seals, who had allegedly cut off his GPS monitor and tossed it into the desert (read more here<\/em><\/a>). Officials said Seals was a meth-addicted gang member with a criminal history that included firearms, making him a danger to society. After two weeks on the run, Seals was captured in early August (read more here)<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe recently was released due to the current laws and he never reported to the parole office, so again, we placed another warrant out for his arrest,\u201d Dorsey said Thursday.<\/p>\n

Seals is a 33-year-old male, with black hair and brown eyes, who stands 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighs around 130 pounds.<\/p>\n

Seals is on parole for resisting an officer with force and violence. He has absconded from parole numerous times since his release in 2011 and is a heavy drug user who steals to support his habit, Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s definitely somewhere here in the Antelope Valley, possibly Mohave or in the Palmdale area,\u201d Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

\"William<\/a>William Collin<\/strong><\/h3>\n

After a parole violation, Robertson was jailed again and then released, Dorsey said. After that, he stopped reporting to parole, Dorsey added.<\/p>\n

\"Daniel<\/a>Daniel Allen Gilmore<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Daniel Gilmore is a 44-year-old sex offender with a continuous criminal history dating back to 1982, which includes rape by force or fear, battery, and grand theft of person.<\/p>\n

Gilmore is on parole for failing to register as a sex offender. He is a transient who may be panhandling in the Lancaster area, Dorsey said.<\/p>\n

Gilmore walks with a limp, is often dirty, and is known to frequent liquor stores, according to parole agents. He is approximately 5 feet 10 inches tall, with brown hair and green eyes, and weighs around 185 pounds.<\/p>\n
