    Police are continuing to have a strong presence at the region's nine police checkpoints around Auckland


    Out of 17-thousand vehicles stopped yesterday, 312 were turned away.

    Police say one motorist, who was known to be a disqualified driver, fled a checkpoint.

    They say for safety reasons they didn't pursue the vehicle but are making enquiries with the registered owner.
