A man allegedly caught with disturbing images of decapitated bodies has cut off his monitoring bracelet and is on the run.
North Shore police are looking for 21-year-old Beant Singh Gill, who may be fruit picking in the Bay of Plenty and using the names "Happy Gill" or "Benny Gill".
He was last due to appear in Auckland District Court in December.
Gill is currently facing active criminal charges in relation to sexual offences, possession of objectionable material and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
The objectionable material charge related to images of men having sex with girls as young as 10 and pictures of a decapitated female body, according to court documents.
