Police are on the hunt for a man they believe is connected to a number of car break-ins at Middlemore and Auckland Hospitals - vehicles left by doctors and nurses working shifts on the frontline of the Covid-19 response.
Jason Edward Waikato, 45, is wanted in relation to "a number of incidents" involving thefts from cars parked at the city's two major hospitals.
