They've released CCTV footage of a retail burglary by two people wearing masks in the King country town of Piopio early on Wednesday.
The store is one he's believed to have targeted unsuccessfully in 2023.
Detective Senior Sergeant Andy Saunders says their focus is on the three children.
He says they want anyone who is helping Phillips or knows where he is, to sit down with Police and work out how to safely get the kids out.
