Willey was last seen heading into bushland. Police say if spotted, he shouldn’t be approached.

His alleged accomplice, a 47-year -old woman, was found by police yesterday on the side of a road, north of Rockhampton.

Police say the pair had been in a car that crashed into a caravan, sparking a six-hour lockdown of the area.

There were allegedly firearms and ammunition inside that car.

The 45-year-old is also accused of a shooting in Cairns last week.

Police say he walked into a Manunda hotel with a gun, blasted a 45-year-old man in the leg and then left.
