Hours after 28-year-old Griffith man Brandon Kay appeared in Deniliquin Local Court last Friday charged with aggravated kidnapping, a 27-year-old man, also from Griffith, was arrested by detectives and charged with detaining a person in company with intent to obtain advantage.

Police refused the man bail and he will face Griffith Local Court on Wednesday.

Kay will also face court in Griffith on Wednesday after being refused bail by a magistrate last Friday.

Kay was arrested last Tuesday, the day after a farmer found a 32-year-old man chained to a tree in Cocoparra National Park, near Yenda.

A police force established last November to investigate public shootings in Griffith is leading the probe into the alleged kidnapping.

Police continue to investigate the incident and have said they believe it is drug related.
