NSW man hands himself into police over Gold Coast abduction of boy

A man wanted in relation to the alleged abduction of a boy, 12, handed himself into police on Tuesday.  

Yu ‘Sunny’ Zhang went to the Cabramatta Police Station in NSW on Monday after police released his picture to the public and asked for help trying to locate the 20-year-old.

Earlier the same day, police said they were trying to locate Mr Zhang in relation to the alleged abduction of a Gold Coast schoolboy. 

The boy was allegedly dragged into a dark hatchback car and abducted from Clover Hill Drive in Mudgeeraba on May 11, sparking a frantic 24-hour search.

The boy was located the following day in the northern New South Wales town of Grafton. 

Zen Jie Zhang, 53, has already been charged in relation to the mater with kidnapping for ransom, extortion, torture, assault occasioning bodily harm and deprivation of liberty.

Yu Zhang is his son, according to the Courier Mail.

Detectives from the Gold Coast are expected to travel to Sydney tomorrow to seek his extradition.

‘I won’t get into detail on the level of the man’s involvement due to the judicial process currently underway,’ Detective Inspector Marc Hogan told the Gold Coast Bulletin earlier this week. 

‘Suffice to say investigators are satisfied to the point where they’ve sought and have an arrest warrant in place. Our intention will be to charge that person with the abduction of the child, if he’s in another state we’ll make an extradition application.’

The boy has reportedly since returned to school and is doing ‘as well as can be expected.’
