KEY POINTS:
Palmerston North police confirmed this morning they were still hunting two "high risk" brothers who absconded while on bail.
Hayden Hakaraia, a Black Power affiliate, failed to return to Manawatu Prison after being granted bail to visit his mother in hospital on March 20.
Leon Hakaraia, a Mongrel Mob associate, escaped from the care of Maori wardens while on bail to attend his mother's funeral in Te Kuiti on April 29.
Arrest warrants have been issued for both men.
Police consider both men to be "high risk" violent offenders who should not be approached.
