Female with Hone Reihana located - Reihana still sought

Statement attributable to Detective Inspector John Sutton:

Police are continuing to appeal for sightings of Hone Reihana, who is actively being sought by Police in relation to a firearms incident at the Sofitel Hotel in Auckland in April.

Reihana, 27, also uses the name Hone Hawira and is a patched Head Hunter gang member.

He is considered dangerous and should not be approached by the public.

Police are no longer seeking a 25-year-old woman who was identified earlier this week as being with Reihana and assisting him in evading Police.

She was located last night after an incident involving Reihana in Northland.

She has been arrested and will appear in the Whangarei District Court this morning charged with being an Accessory after the Fact

It is likely that Reihana will face further charges as a result of last night's incident

Anyone who sees Hone Reihana is asked to contact Police immediately by phoning 111.

Anyone with further information that may assist our enquiries is asked to contact (09) 477 5221 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Police repeat our warning that anyone found to be assisting Reihana in evading Police could find themselves liable for prosecution.
