Police have revealed that a fugitive they describe as armed and dangerous is now wanted over the armed robbery of a Christchurch bar.
Jackson Manson, 28, has been on the run from police since last Friday when he ditched his car in Shirley when police were on his tail. They allegedly found a pistol in the abandoned vehicle.
Late yesterday, police told The Star they had now issued an arrest warrant for Manson for the aggravated robbery of the Sideline Bar in Richmond on November 7.
Patrons were ordered to lie on the floor and a staff member was ordered at gunpoint to open the safe.
The two robbers fled soon after in a car.
