The brother of a teenager killed in a police in chase last week is now on the run.

Morrocco Tai, 15, died last week when a stolen car he was driving crashed into a tree.

His brother was temporarily released from prison to attend Morrocco's funeral on Friday, but did not return to Mt Eden Prison.

Corrections said he was not being guarded by their staff while attending the funeral.

Police were trying to locate him.
