Police have arrested two men who allegedly stopped a car in Waikato and beat and kidnapped the driver for cash.
The victim was driving on Gordonton Rd, towards Hamilton on October 1, when he crashed into a car that did an illegal U-turn front of his vehicle, Detective Inspector Russell Le Prou said.
When he checked if the occupants of the other car were hurt he was set upon by a group of men armed with softball bats.
The victim was told the group took the money as a form of reparation or “anger money” before they released him, Mr Le Prou said.
They beat him, took his ATM cards, then held him at a close toby property while others drove off to take $1300 from his bank account.”
Officers from the armed offenders squad executed two search warrants in Taupiri and Morrinsville, because of the need to stamp out serious, unprovoked, violent behaviour, Mr Le Prou said.
“They seem to have been quite brazen about it, even informing their victim there were no hard feelings and that they were in the business of selling car parts should he want to repair his vehicle. .

Further arrests and charges were likely, Mr Le Prou said

More than 60 prison guards protested legislation,
which could lead to the privatisation of some prisons, outside Auckland’s
Mt Eden prison today.
The guards chanted slogans and held placards saying ‘Stop The Cell-Off’ and ‘No Profit From Crime’, Radio New Zealand reported.
Association president Beven Hanlon said New Zealand had one of the best prison systems in the world and privately run facilities would not deliver the same standards.
The Corrections Association, the union representing prison guards, said legislation currently before Parliament would lead to the private management of up to five prisons.”
Mr Hanlon said if prison management was privatised, guards would face the prospect of losing their jobs, only to be re-hired at reduced wages and under poorer conditions.
“We have low levels of escape, we have low staff-to-prisoner ratios which means we’ve got really low costs and we’ve got low suicide rates – and believe it or not we’ve got improving rehabilitation rates.
