Pita Rangi Te Kira was on bail for 11 charges including dishonesty, driving and violent offending.

A police spokesperson said he removed his monitoring bracelet last week.

The 29-year-old had associates in the Hutt Valley and Porirua, and was likely to have returned from Hawke's Bay to the Wellington area, the spokesperson said.
