The police say the Waikato fugitive Tom Phillips is considered dangerous, after he was linked to a bank robbery in Te Kūiti in May.
Police issued a warrant for his arrest yesterday, after he was charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated wounding and unlawfully possessing a firearm.
Phillips and his three children, Jayda, Maverick, and Ember, were reported missing from their home in January last year.
Jordan Dunn was at the media conference and spoke to Charlie Dreaver.
