Christchurch Police believe a third man may now be accompanying the two parolees who absconded from a residential facility in the city last Wednesday.
They have released a photo of the man, who goes by the name of Jamie Campbell. He is also known as Alexander Paul Jones.
He is 25 years old and is described as a male Caucasian, tall, of slim to medium build with dark hair and a beard.
Detective Senior Sergeant Tony Hill says Campbell may be driving a white Honda Civic two-door hatchback, with a sunroof, registration no. OW8480.
"Our enquiries indicate this man is an associate of Ivan Campbell and Jaydon Galland," he says. "It is not believed he is a relative of Ivan Campbell.
"He may or may not be with the two men - but we would like to hear from anyone who has seen Jamie Campbell, or the white Honda Civic."
Ivan Andrew Campbell, aged 46, and Jaydon Galland, aged 18, absconded from the Salisbury Foundation early on Wednesday morning [7 November].
Ivan Campbell is described as a Caucasian, 177cm (approx 5ft 10in) tall, and of medium-thin build. He has extensive tattoos on his face, neck, and arms. Galland is described as Caucasian, 177cm (approx 5ft 10in) tall, of medium build, with tattoos on his neck.
Any sightings of the men should be reported urgently to Police by phoning 111, or Christchurch police on (03) 3637400. Alternatively, to provide information anonymously contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
