Police are responding to protest action around Auckland’s northern boundary this morning.
A large group of protestors have gathered around the northern side of the border.
As a result the main northern border checkpoint located on State Highway 1 was blocked for a considerable period of time this morning.
Police are working to respond to this incident and to ensure lanes are open at the checkpoint so that members of the public undertaking lawful travel across the boundary can do so safely.
Police will provide a further update in due course.
ENDS.
