    An Otorohanga father who sparked a wide-scale search after going missing with his three young children has failed to show up to his first court appearance

    An Otorohanga father who sparked a wide-scale search after going missing with his three young children has failed to show up to his first court appearance


    A warrant has been issued for his arrest.

    34-year-old Thomas Phillips was charged with wasteful deployment of police resources following the 17-day search in September last year.

    Phillips was scheduled to appear in person at Te Kuiti District Court facing a single charge of wasting police resources.

    But 45 minutes after the hearing was scheduled to start, he still hadn't shown up and the matter was called without him.
