New Zealand Police have made a bizarre arrest after a pair of alleged gang associates were caught trying to enter Auckland with a boot full of KFC chicken and tens of thousands of dollars.
The men were charged with breaching the country's tough COVID-19 rules.
Under Auckland's strict Level 4 lockdown, all restaurants, including takeaway services, remain closed.
BBC News reports Police said the men, aged 23 and 30, had travelled from Hamilton, about 75 miles south of Auckland.
Police photos showed at least three buckets of chicken, about 10 cups of coleslaw, a large package of fries, and four large bags containing other KFC items.
They also seized NZ$100,000 in cash.
It is unclear whether the men intended to sell the food or if they hoped to use it as a distraction if they were to be pulled over.
