A woman has been arrested after police evicted a group of Maori sovereignty activists who had been occupying a building in Kaikohe.
Nga Uri o Tupoto is claiming Maori customary rights to the property, which was bought by businessman Glenn Hannah in April this year.
The High Court in Whangarei last week upheld a decision by the Kaikohe District Court to evict the group.
The Ministry of Justice says a warrant for recovery of the land was issued on Tuesday morning.
It says Mr Hannah has been given vacant possession of the building.
However, police made one arrest over an incident after the group had left the building.
A woman was charged with assaulting police, disorderly behaviour, and resisting police. She was due to appear in court on Tuesday.
