A man has been given an infringement notice after using his travel exemption to cross the Auckland border to buy a boat, Stuff reveals. The man was stopped at the Coal Hill Rd checkpoint near Mangawhai as he attempted to return to Northland after buying a boat in Auckland on Tuesday. Police gave the man an infringement notice and reported the matter to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE). The border operations are mostly “running smoothly”, with about 1% of vehicles being turned around.
