Today, police said further enforcement action had been taken, resulting in a total of 13 arrests, with 21 charges laid along with 26 infringement notices.
Waitematā District CommanderSuperintendent Naila Hassan, Waitematā District Commander, said the charges related to driving offences, obstruction, disorderly behaviour and assaulting Police.
Infringement notices havd also been issued for numerous driving offences, including impeding traffic.
"Police had made it clear to the group that any pedestrians on the Harbour Bridge or motorway was unlawful and would result in consequences," Hassan said.
"Police permitted the group to travel in vehicles in a convoy at a speed that was deemed safe and minimised disruption to other road users.
"The group chose not to abide by those requirements and as a result they will face the consequences for their unlawful behaviour.
"The actions of the group last week were dangerous, and this enforcement action sends a clear message that this kind of behaviour will not be tolerated."
Police would not comment further as the charges were before the courts.
