An Auckland man who bragged about breaking lockdown rules and going over the regional border to get McDonald's has been charged with failing to comply with an order under the Covid-19 Public Health Response Act 2020.
The man uploaded footage showing the inside of the car full of McDonald's bags after what was allegedly a drive from Auckland across the regional boundary into alert level 2 for takeaways.
Police received reports of the video circulating on social media and have now taken "enforcement action".
"Police have taken enforcement action against a 20-year-old man after a video emerged reportedly showing people travelling from Auckland to get fast food," Superintendent Shanan Gray, of Tāmaki Makaurau Police said.
