An allegedly "armed and dangerous" fugitive who has evaded police capture for more than two weeks is being helped by members of the community, Queensland's police minister has said.
An arrest warrant was issued for 27-year-old Mitchell James Wilson after he allegedly fired a semi-automatic rifle in two separate incidents earlier this month and set fire to a home in Brisbane's suburbs.
At a law enforcement conference on the Gold Coast today, Queensland Police Minister Mark Ryan said significant resources had been devoted to finding Mr Wilson but it was clear somebody was helping him avoid police.
