Police are looking to locate Cyphrus McCaskill, 22, who is wanted in relation to an aggravated burglary at a residential address in Tirohia, Eastern Waikato, on the evening of Friday 9 August.
During the incident a 66-year-old man received serious facial injuries and was transported to Waikato Hospital.
A grey 2017 Holden Colorado, registration KTY16, was taken from the property but recovered by Police yesterday in Te Aroha.
The two offenders involved were not known to the victim.
Early indications suggest the offenders’ vehicle had broken down near the property shortly before the incident.
One of the offenders, a 29-year-old Te Aroha man, was arrested yesterday in Te Aroha and will appear at Hamilton District Court tomorrow.
McCaskill is around 170cm tall, of a medium build, with a distinctive crown tattoo above his left eye.
He has strong links to Te Aroha, Paeroa and the Eastern Waikato area.
McCaskill is considered dangerous and should not be approached.
Anyone who has information on McCaskill’s whereabouts is urged to contact Police on 111 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Police are also seeking information on any sightings of the grey 2017 Holden Colorado, particularly in the Waihi, Paeroa and Te Aroha areas.
