Police are searching for 27-year-old John-Boy Rakete who has breached his release from prison conditions.
Rakete, 27, was jailed in relation to a brutal assault of a man on a petrol station forecourt.
As of yesterday morning, he was known to be in South Dunedin, a police statement said, however it was thought he may now be in Auckland.
Rakete was jailed for two years two months following the attack at a South Dunedin petrol station forecourt in 2018.
Nigel Landreth died 14 months after the incident — outside the then statutory time frame for the defendant to be deemed legally responsible.
