A teenager wanted by police on serious offences has been evading police custody for almost two weeks.
Tonganui Katipa, 17, has a number of active warrants to arrest for offences including reckless driving, burglary, unlawfully taking a motor vehicle and failing to stop for police.
The charges relate to offending which took place in November last year.
The photo shared publicly by police shows the wanted teen staring directly at the camera with what appears to be numerous hickeys, or love bites, on his neck.
Despite humour surrounding the image, police said Katipa is considered to be a violent offender who should not be approached, and if he is sighted people should call 111 immediately.
