A high-risk child sex offender is on the run up the North Island, police say.
Multiple arrest warrants have been issued for 47-year-old Darren Albert Jolly, who allegedly breached an extended supervision order which included 24/4 electronic monitoring.
Jolly has been missing since Wednesday, when he fled his Wellington address heading north.
Police believe he took a car from a Kapiti car dealership later that day.
Wellington police are appealing for any sightings of Jolly or the blue Honda Civic sedan, licence plate AYT134.
