A P-fuelled fugitive who has been evading police for more than a month is still on the run.

William Alexander Stewart, 47, is wanted in connection with a series of burglaries including hauls of drug products from South Island pharmacies.

Police said this morning they had had no recent sightings of Stewart reported to them.

Stewart disappeared into the bush in central Canterbury on February 10 after threatening a police officer with an iron bar.

Police want to hear from anyone who sees Stewart, but warned people not to corner him.

Stewart is described as a thin Caucasian, 177cm tall, with his hair, previously long and scraggly, cut down to a rough No. 2 cut.
