Gavin Burns has been on the run from police for two months.

A man on the run for allegedly stabbing his brother is believed to be hiding out in a north Waikato maize field.

Gavin John Burns has two warrants for his arrest for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm.

The 35-year-old from the Waikato, who sports a large scar on his right shoulder, has been actively avoiding police for the past few months.

POLICE Toots Inia is wanted by police.

Police have received information that Burns is living in a maize field near Huntly, Western Waikato police area commander, Inspector Naila Hassan, said.

"He has been sleeping rough there.

"We have used quad bikes in an attempt to go and find him and have staked it out, but he is actively avoiding us."

It was likely Burns had been moving around within the expansive maize fields, she said.

A motion to cut off his benefit had also been made in hopes it would flush Burns out.

"He is wanted in relation to a domestic related incident that happened at Christmas. He is also wanted to interview over other domestic violence incidents in January."

Hassan said Burns was an "unstable person" and police were concerned about his wellbeing.

"We are actually concerned about his welfare and wellbeing and would like him to make contact with us."

Burns is described as being of solid build and 175cm tall.

Meanwhile, Waikato police are also on the hunt for 19-year-old Toots Inia.

Two warrants to arrest Inia were issued in Hamilton District Court on March 16. He is facing charges of breaching bail, theft ex-car, receiving stolen goods, aggravated assault and dangerous driving.

Hassan said Inia is known to travel between Hamilton and Ngaruawahia and is a "very active offender".

"He is on a 24 hour curfew and has an extensive history of dishonesty offences."

Anyone with any information on either of the men is asked to contact Hamilton police on 07 858 6200. Information can also be left anonymously via Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
