Teen wanted for arrest

Bay of Plenty Police are seeking the location of 18-year-old Maaki Emery who has a warrant to arrest for escaping police custody.

The current warrant is in relation to an incident in Murupara on Tuesday evening this week.

A manhunt is underway for the 18-year-old following an incident that saw a police officer fire two shots on Oregon Drive in the Bay of Plenty town about 7pm on Tuesday after the teen stole a police car while handcuffed.

About six patrol cars and the police helicopter were used to find the missing police car.

As no handcuffs have been found, police concede there is still a possibility the 18-year-old may still be wearing them.

Anyone with any information about Maaki Emery, please call Rotorua Police on (07) 3499 400 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
