Auckland's borders are finally dismantled after more than 120 days of the city being cut off from the rest of the country.

Police-led checkpoints are set up along two routes into Northland and holidaymakers are warned they'll likely be stopped.
Northland District Commander superintendent Tony Hill spoke to Susie Ferguson.
