PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal and local authorities are looking for a husband and wife duo convicted of tax fraud last year after they took off their electronic monitors late last month.

Police say that 53-year-old Tony Dutson and 48-year-old Micaela Renee Dutson were sentenced in March to 10 years of federal prison for tax fraud, but were released and an electronic monitoring system was placed on them.

Authorities say they took it off on April 29. They are now considered fugitives.

Police say the two have connections to Arizona and Oregon.
