Rotorua police are on the lookout for a patched gang member who has breached his bail conditions.
Brian Whare, 31, is facing firearms-related charges after a loaded firearm was found under the seat of a car he was a passenger in earlier this year.
A warrant has been issued for his arrest after he failed to appear in court earlier this month.
The police say he has a wide circle of associates in the Rotorua area as well as links to Pukehina.
