The search continues this morning for a man police say fired a gun at two officers.

Joshua Kite has been on the run since the incident in the early hours of Friday morning in Whangarei.

The search for him since then has centered around the Maungaturoto and Kaiwaka areas.

Police officers, fire crews, ambulances and a police helicopter were involved in the search of a Kaiwaka property last night.

However, officers cleared the property without finding the 33-year-old, and they have refocused their search on the greater Auckland area overnight.

Police say Kite is about 183 centimetres tall, with brown curly hair, and asking anyone who sees him to call 111.

He's wanted on a parole recall warrant and has links to the Northland, Auckland and Wellington areas.
