North Shore police are asking for help in tracking down a "violent" teenager charged with aggravated robbery using a firearm.

Conan Livingstone, 19, failed to appear in court on January 31, resulting in an arrest warrant. He has previously absconded while on electronic bail.

Police describe Livingstone as "a violent man who should not be approached". They urge anyone who sees the teenager to call police immediately.

Livingstone was on bail at an address in Ranui, West Auckland. He also has links to Torbay, Browns Bay and Albany.

He is 176cm tall, with a "chubby" build and distinctive tattoos on his neck, arms and upper body.

Anyone with information on Livingstone's location can call Detective Steve Brewer a the North Shore CIB on (09) 477 5103, or Crime Stoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
