A checkpoint stopping gang members on motorcycles has disrupted those travelling northbound in Pūhoi this morning.
Police confirmed they were holding a checkpoint on SH1 in Pūhoi today.
The police checkpoint is targeting a convoy of Tribesmen MC riders heading north from Auckland, the Herald understands.
Waka Kotahi said the northbound lane at Pūhoi was temporarily blocked “due to a police issue” at 11.25am.
Five minutes later they said police had reopened the roads but travellers should still expect delays.
