Man hands himself over alleged Gold Coast schoolboy kidnapping

A man wanted in relation to the alleged kidnapping of a 12-year-old schoolboy on the Gold Coast earlier this month has voluntarily handed himself into police.

The 20-year-old man attended the Cabramatta Police Station in New South Wales on Tuesday afternoon.

Gold Coast police were expected to travel to Sydney on Wednesday to seek his extradition to Queensland.

On Monday, police released images of Sydney-based man Yu (Sunny) Zhang, 20, the son of a 53-year-old man charged with the alleged kidnapping of the boy.

Police could not confirm whether the man who attended the New South Wales police station on Tuesday was the same man.

The 12-year-old boy was allegedly abducted while walking home from school in Mudgeeraba on May 11.

An amber alert was issued and he was found the next day in Grafton, New South Wales.

Zhen Jie Zhang, 53, who police allege was the driver of the car used in the abduction, has been charged and denied bail.
