The woman from Half Moon Bay in Auckland, travelled to Whangārei on Friday last week but it wasn't until Monday this week that she was arrested inKaitaia on an unrelated matter.
The 22-year-old pleaded guilty in the Whangārei District Court today on one charge of failing to comply with Covid restrictions under the Public Health Act 2020 by travelling outside of Auckland without a personal travel exemption.
She was remanded in custody to appear for sentencing via audio visual link on October 27.
The case is unrelated to two women— also from Auckland— who slipped into Northland, allegedly on false travel documents, and who are now in a quarantine facility in Auckland.
The police summary of facts stated as part of court-imposed conditions for a criminal matter, the woman was ordered to reside at an Auckland address and to abide by a curfew.
She met with a family associate and arranged for the latter to transport her through the Auckland/Northland border to Whangārei.
