Cleve Patrick Gurnick has violated his parole conditions and a warrant has been issued for his arrest.
The original sentence of three and a half years was for kidnapping, dangerous driving and contravening a protection order, but new charges include assaulting a female, escaping custody and the cultivation of cannabis.
Gurnick is 33, part-Maori, 1.82m (6ft), of medium build with brown hair and blue eyes. He is from Thames, but because he is on the run he could be anywhere. He is described as unpredictable, and can be violent.
Information to Thames police on (07) 867-9600.
