Second man arrested over abduction of 12-year-old boy

A second man has been arrested by police for his alleged role in the abduction of a schoolboy from outside his family’s Gold Coast home.

The 12-year-old was walking from school to his family’s Mudgeeraba home on May 11 when a bag was placed over his head and he was bundled into a car.

He was found the next day in Grafton in the company of 53-year-old Zheng Jie Zhang, who has since been charged with six offences including kidnapping for ransom.

The 20-year-old on Tuesday afternoon voluntarily attended Cabramatta Police Station in Sydney’s southwest, Queensland Police said in a statement.

Gold Coast detectives are expected to travel to Sydney on Wednesday to seek his extradition to Queensland.
