Police have visited at least 22 addresses of Brett Makiri's known associates throughout the Auckland Central, Waitemata, Counties Manukau and Waikato Police Districts today.
"Our focus remains on Mr Makiri's recapture and we will continue to visit his associates until we locate him," says Detective Senior Sergeant John Sutton. "It would be wise of Mr Makiri to turn himself as soon as possible.
"We remind members of the public and associates of Mr Makiri once again that assisting an escaped prisoner is an offence."
Police urge anyone who knows anything about Mr Makiri's whereabouts to call Police immediately on 111.
