Police are seeking help to find a man who has been evading them since January.
A warrant for Sharnie Rimene's arrest was issued when he failed to appear in court on charges relating to shoplifting and burglary.
Police warned he is known to associate with gang members and should not be approached.
He is likely to still be in Wairarapa.
Senior Sergeant Grant Mumby said Rimene was understood to have a history of avoiding police but later turning himself in.
