AFTER breaking his parole twice this year, armed robber Jason Robert Herbert is on the run and believed to be hunting two policemen he blames for the death of his brother.
Police fear Herbert, 40, is heading from NSW to Western Australia to seek revenge on the two officers.
In 2009, his brother Troy Matthew Herbert took a large dose of methamphetamine and was killed on his motorbike as he tried to outrun the officers in Perth.
The two are being offered protection, while Corrective Services NSW Commissioner Peter Severin has ordered an urgent inquiry into Herbert's disappearance.
He had previously been released in April but was returned to jail in July when he broke his parole conditions by failing to report to his parole officer, a corrective services spokeswoman told AAP.
Released for a second time on November 28, Herbert had served 11 years of a 15-year-sentence for grievous bodily harm and armed robbery.
He escaped from his Newcastle lodgings over the weekend and was last seen at 2am (AEDT) on Saturday near the Pacific Highway at Hexham.
He was wearing an electronic monitoring device on his leg and is understood to have simply cut it off.
His mother Ruth appeared on the Seven Network on Tuesday, tearfully appealing for him to contact her and give himself up.
"Do the right thing, don't do anything stupid, I beg you," she said.
The West Australian newspaper reported her saying her son would be coming home to pay his respects to Troy, with whom he was very close.
"I have read Jason is armed and dangerous. He would be dangerous to police. He would not be dangerous to me or his friends," she said.
Mrs Herbert said she feared for her son's safety.
"If Jason is cornered it might be shoot first, ask questions later," she said.
NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson said it was alarming someone could cut off their security bracelet, and noted there had been a number of failures of such devices.
"The O'Farrell government is failing to do the job properly and protect the community," he told ABC Radio.
NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell said his anger was directed at the parole board for freeing Herbert.
"What I'm unhappy about today ... is why the hell this bloke was given parole," Mr O'Farrell told reporters in Sydney.
"What I want to look at first is why he was allowed to have access to this technology by a parole board whose parole he'd broken earlier this year.
"He's described today as a dangerous prisoner by the very same people who gave him parole, that's what I'm angry about."
Police say Herbert is of Caucasian appearance and between 185cm to 190cm tall, with a medium build, hazel eyes and short brown hair.
He is considered dangerous and should not be approached.
