Due to the outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19, all restaurants, including takeaway outlets, have been closed in Auckland, New Zealand, since 17 August.
KFC, unlike McDonalds, has been labelled addictive by some due to its use of monosodium glutamate (MSG). New Zealand Police are now wondering if cravings for the food are behind two men’s decision to breach the health order and enter the locked down city of 1.7 million people with a “boot full” of the Finger Lickin’ Good stuff (see picture).
However, police said the men, two gang associates, also had over $NZ100,000 cash and empty ounce bags. They were caught trying to enter Auckland’s southern boundary on Sunday.
The men, aged 23 and 30, will appear in court at a later date for breaching the Health Order and further charges were likely, the spokesperson said.
That’s one expensive meal.
