Northland -A man who fired a shot at police officers in Northland is still on the run and believed to have made his way to Auckland.
Police launched a large scale operation early on Friday to catch the man, who escaped in a police car and is believed to still have a "large calibre" firearm.
The operation started in Whangarei just after midnight - and by midmorning had wound some 60 kilometres south hitting Maungaturoto before operations centred on Kaiwaka.
"Members of the Armed Offenders Squad as well as staff from Northland, Waitematā and Auckland City districts are involved in this operation and ongoing inquiries," Police Commissioner Mike Bush said.
