The Michigan State Police reports that 23 sex offenders were arrested during a sweep in Detroit earlier this month.

The sweep was conducted over a three-day period from September 15 through September 17.

Investigators checked the residences of 252 registered sex offenders in Detroit to make sure they were living at their reported addresses. The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office authorized 76 warrants after the checks.

Officials are now looking to arrest the remaining offenders.
