Taitokerau Border Control has abandoned plans for a checkpoint at Waiōmio and is instead conducting mobile patrols.
Spokesperson Rueben Taipari says rather than tussling with police over a road block, members are moving around communities in Kaikohe and Hokianga, Whangaroa and the Bay of Islands to reassure kaumātua and kuia and check on their welfare.
"We’re just doing he best we can with what we’ve got," he says.
He says kaumātua and kuia are happy to see the patrol out and about.
