Police is encouraging Aucklanders ahead of the weekend to stay local and adhere to the Alert Level restrictions which remain in place.
Auckland continues to remain in Alert Level 3 lockdown since last Tuesday, August 10, with Prime Minister announcing today that cabinet will decide next Monday about the decision of lifting or continuing the lockdown.
Police will continue to be out in our communities this weekend ensuring compliance with the current restrictions while Tamaki Makaurau continues to stay at Alert Level 3 and the rest of New Zealand remains at Alert Level 2.
Our staff continue to operate 13 checkpoints across Tamaki Makaurau and for any Aucklanders planning to leave the region for a holiday or short break over the weekend, our message is clear: expect to be turned around.
Police will continue to stop every vehicle to ensure that motorists are permitted to travel and have the appropriate documentation ready to show our staff at the checkpoints.
More information about the exemptions is available on the Covid-19 website (covid19.govt.nz)
As at 4pm yesterday, 125,800 have been stopped at checkpoints across Tamaki Makaurau.
Of that number, a total of 6,174 vehicles have been turned around.
This roughly equates to 1 vehicle out of every 20 being turned away.
