Police in Auckland want to locate 36 year-old Christopher Gregory Thomas, a convicted murderer for whom an Interim Recall Order and arrest warrant was issued by the Parole Board last evening.
Thomas [see attached photo] is in breach of his parole conditions and Police have a warrant for his arrest in relation to a violent incident and threats in Massey on Monday, August 17.
Christopher Thomas is Caucasian and is believed to be armed. He is considered dangerous and should not be approached by members of the public. He was released from prison on March 2 this year to a Mt Albert address.

"We understand he has been frequenting several Auckland City addresses and it's possible he is using a silver BMW car.
"All Police staff were made aware last evening of his most recent activities and have been advised to take extreme caution if they encounter him.
"We urge members of the public or any of his associates to contact Police on the emergency number - 111 - if they have information about Christopher Thomas."
