Lower Hutt Police are hunting a "dangerous" domestic violence offender who has two warrants for his arrest.

Danny Mooney, 44, is wanted for breaching a protection order on January 19 in Lower Hutt and for failing to appear in Kaikoura District Court on a cannabis related charge on January 28.

Mooney was known to be in the Lower Hutt and Wellington region last week but was believed to have connections to people in Waikato, Whanganui and Christchurch.

Police said Mooney was a high risk offender and should not be approached.
