Photo NZ PolicePolice are continuing their hunt across the greater Auckland area for an armed and dangerous man they say sparked a massive manhunt in Northland. Kite has a history of criminal offences including convictions for three major armed robberies in Auckland in 2007. On Friday police said they had widened the search area and were now looking for him in the greater Auckland area. According to a 2007 Court of Appeal decision, Kite was responsible for the planning and execution of three major armed robberies in Auckland between September and November 2006. In another incident, Kite escaped from custody after successfully convincing court staff that he was another person who had been granted bail.
