Police are searching for a 19-year-old man accused of carrying a shotgun into a house in a dispute over youth gang and drug issues.
Tavita Lasike Pongi allegedly broke into an Otara home armed with a shotgun on June 1 at about 7:45pm.
Detective Senior Sergeant Darrell Harpur said a 54-year-old woman, a younger girl and a 16-year-old boy were home at the time of incident.
"We believe that Pongi was one of three offenders. He was the only offender to enter the house and was armed with a shotgun," said Mr Harpur.
The 16-year-old boy ran out of the house when Pongi entered, police said.
