Two men found with a car full of Kentucky Fried Chicken and around $70,000 in cash were arrested as they tried entering New Zealand's largest city, in violation of its tough COVID-19 lockdown measures.
The pair, who were described by the New Zealand Police as gang associates, were traveling near Auckland, where restaurants remain closed and are not allowed to take takeout orders.
"Officers noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling [sic] on a gravel road and upon seeing the Police car, the vehicle did a u-turn and sped off trying to evade Police," a police news release said.(snip)
Photos released by authorities showed buckets of chicken on the hood of a police vehicle with what appeared to be several sides of coleslaw and fries.
The men, ages 23 and 30, were charged with breaching the nation's health order and police said more charges are likely.

It's a fun topic. 
Is this the going to be like Prohibition? Instead of gangsters creating speakeasies for people to get a drink, people who are locked down will now be ordering KFC.
They didn’t have that much food. About as much as I buy for a family get together.
You saw lunacy over TP here last year. How about hydroxycloroquine? A life saving Covid therapeutic that has been given billions of times at 50 cents a pop, is treated like prohibition hootch by the feds. They are out of their heads, drunk with power.
South Park had an episode about this years ago.
The world is a Monty Python movie.
Surprised the cops didn’t do a selfie with the “contraband”, like they do for major drug busts.
What a nightmare if you can’t cook
“car full of Kentucky Fried Chicken “
Sounds like heaven to me.
About 10 years ago we switched our Thanksgiving dinner from turkey to KFC.
Mom didn’t feel like making turkey anymore.
I cooked all the tradition sides my Grandma made but I added White Castle stuffing!
“What happened to the Evidence? The table was full of chicken, gravy and biscuits just five minutes ago!
Nothing left but a bunch of greasy napkins!
How are we going to prosecute now?”
I actually looked to see if this was from the Bee.
Cops just got dinner for the whole precinct
The absurd has become the norm.
All this KFC has enough cholesterol to kill someone. I hope the perps are charges with attempted murder.
Nobody needs nine containers of mashed potatoes. Definite criminal intent indicated. Possession with intent to distribute...
I’d just assume have a good pizza or cheeseburger and steak fries.
The traditional meal never meant anything to me.
Chicken in the car and the car won’t go, New Zealand.
