The Hawke's Bay police are concerned that members of the public are assisting two dangerous offenders, Shawn Harding and Zane Lewis in evading police.
Harding and Lewis are not believed to be known to each other but police believe both are being assisted with evading police by members of the public.
Both men are being actively sought and are considered armed and dangerous.
Senior Sergeant Nick Dobson reminded members of the public that it is illegal to assist an offender with evading Police.
"We believe acquaintances of theirs are providing them with a place to stay. If we find evidence of anyone assisting Mr Lewis or Mr Harding with evading Police, then you could be charged with a criminal offence," he said.
