police have made a bizarre arrest after a pair of alleged gang
associates were caught trying to enter Auckland with a boot full of KFC
chicken and tens of thousands of dollars.
The men were charged with breaching the country's tough Covid-19 rules.
Under Auckland's strict Level 4 lockdown, all restaurants, including take-away services, remain closed.
Police said the men, aged 23 and 30, had travelled from Hamilton, about 75 miles south of Auckland.
A
police spokesperson told the BBC that officers made the arrest after
they noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling on a gravel road on
the outskirts of the city.

"Upon
seeing the police car, the vehicle did a u-turn and sped off trying to
evade police," they said. "The vehicle was searched and police located
the cash, alongside empty ounce bags and a large amount of takeaways."

They also seized NZ$100,000 (US$70,000; £51,000) in cash.
It
is unclear whether the men intended to sell the food or if they hoped
to use it as a distraction if they were to be pulled over.

The
spokesperson said that the men would appear in court later in the year
for breaching public health rules but added that further charges are
also likely. The investigation is ongoing.

The
pair's risky late night food run means they now face heavy punishments
under New Zealand's tough anti-Covid laws. Fines can reach up to
NZ$4,000 and some offenders can even face prison sentences of up to six
months.

The
men are not the first New Zealanders whose fast-food cravings have
landed them in trouble with authorities. Last week a 20-year-old man was
charged after he posted a video on Tiktok showing him leaving Auckland
and purchasing a large amount of food from McDonalds.
