Police Hunt Three Deadly Men Across North Island

July 1, 2026 Emma Walker – News Editor News

New Zealand Police are actively searching for three men across the North Island, each considered dangerous and subject to separate warrants for arrest. Authorities have urged members of the public not to approach these individuals but to contact emergency services immediately if they are sighted.

## Ongoing Search for Hemi Koro
Police are seeking Hemi Koro, who is wanted in relation to a serious incident in the Waikato region. According to official police statements, Koro is considered dangerous and should not be approached. Law enforcement agencies have distributed his details to local units as part of an ongoing effort to locate him. The search for Koro remains a priority for Waikato investigators, who are processing intelligence regarding his potential whereabouts.

## Wanted Status of Riki Ngamoki
In a separate investigation, police are pursuing Riki Ngamoki. Authorities have issued a warning to the public regarding his potential for violence and have reiterated that he should not be approached under any circumstances. The search for Ngamoki is being coordinated across multiple districts, with police relying on public tips to track his movements. Officials have stated that officers are actively following lines of inquiry to bring him into custody safely.

## Search Efforts for Teina Tanginoa
The third individual currently sought by police is Teina Tanginoa. Similar to the other cases, Tanginoa is subject to an active warrant and is classified by authorities as a dangerous person. Police have requested that anyone with information regarding his current location contact 111 or provide anonymous tips through Crime Stoppers.

## Police Protocols for Public Safety
New Zealand Police have emphasized that these three searches are independent operations, though they share a common directive: public safety is the primary concern. Police operational guidelines dictate that when a suspect is classified as dangerous, the public should prioritize reporting the sighting rather than attempting intervention.

Authorities have not provided a specific timeline for the conclusion of these searches. Police continue to monitor and evaluate incoming reports from the public, and investigations remain open as officers work to execute the outstanding warrants.
