Another arrest warrant has been issued for one of the men believed to be linked to a spate of armed robberies in central Auckland, after he failed to appear in court on Monday.
Police are hunting John Koteka, 34, and Alex Tereora, 31, after three robberies within an hour at the Auckland Domain and Mt Eden on February 15.
They allege Koteka was involved in at least one of the robberies and have information to indicate he will be with Tereora.
Koteka was due to appear in the Auckland District Court on Monday for a jury trial callover. He failed to appear and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
An earlier warrant for his and Tereora's arrest was requested by police and issued last Thursday.
