Police are appealing to the public for any information that will help locate an Auckland man who is considered to be dangerous and on the run.

Six warrants have been issued for Ashwani Aggarwal, 23, after he failed to appear in court on multiple charges relating to thefts alleged to have occurred at the Auckland Library where victims had their bags, phones or computers stolen.

'Police would also like to speak to him in relation to several other matters, including threats that he has made against several people known to him.

'Due to the threats he has made, Aggarwal is considered to be dangerous and should not be approached.”

Aggarwal is believed to be actively evading police and anyone who sees him or knows where he is should call 111 immediately.

Non-urgent information can also be given to the Auckland CIB Crime Squad by calling 09 302 6557.

Information can also be provided anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 11
