Waikato Police investigating an aggravated robbery in Te Kuiti from May have now obtained a warrant to arrest for Tom Phillips.

Missing Marokopa dad Tom Phillips has been charged with aggravated robbery in relation to a bank robbery.

Two armed people entered an ANZ bank in Te Kuiti in May, demanding cash. The pair fled on a black, farm-style motorbike.

On Tuesday, police issued a warrant for Phillips arrest in relation to the bank robbery. He has been charged with aggravated robbery, aggravated wounding and unlawfully possessing a firearm.

Officers have been searching for missing Marokopa dad and his children Jayda, 10, Maverick, 8, and Ember, 7, since family reported them missing from their home on the Waikato’s west coast on January 18, 2022.

We also urge people not to take action themselves as Mr Phillips potentially still has firearms in his possession, said acting detective inspector Andrew Saunders.

Sightings of Phillips can be reported to Police on 111 quoting file number 230516/7295.

More to come.
