Man wanted over Gold Coast 'kidnapping' hands himself in

The second man wanted over the alleged kidnapping of a 12-year-old boy on the Gold Coast has handed himself into police.

Police confirmed Yu (Sunny) Zhang, 20, voluntarily attended Cabramatta Police Station in NSW on Tuesday afternoon.

Gold Coast detectives are expected to travel to Sydney on Wednesday, where they will seek Mr Zhang's extradition to Queensland on Thursday.

Police made a public appeal for Mr Zhang to hand himself in on Monday, and said they expected to charge him with kidnapping over the alleged plot earlier this month.

The 12-year-old was allegedly grabbed off the street at Mudgeeraba and bundled into a car.

He was located in the NSW town of Grafton — allegedly gagged in an SUV — the day after his disappearance.

Investigators have already charged Mr Zhang's father, Zhen Jie Zhang, with offences including kidnapping for ransom, extortion and assault over the alleged abduction.

Zhen Jie Zhang was denied bail after his arrest, with his lawyer telling the Southport Magistrates Court that he "contests a number of the allegations before the courts, but acknowledges the seriousness of the allegations".
