KEY POINTS:
A man facing P-related charges who fled an Auckland courtroom when he was refused bail is still on the run 10 days later.
Richard Oswald Bell, 41, ran from the High Court at Auckland on February 10 once he heard the judge's decision.
Constable Arnie Welch of Auckland police said there was little sign of Bell.
"We know there was a sighting at the casino soon after he escaped but we haven't really had any further clues," Mr Welch told NZPA.
"Most of his family is in Auckland so he may not have strayed too far but we can't be sure."
Bell, who is of medium build and about 188cm tall, is facing numerous drugs and firearms charges.
Anyone who knows his whereabouts is asked to contact police.
