00:00I'm sure he's been sick many times.
00:04I just can't remember the time when he made the first call.
00:08So about 7am on Sunday
00:1217th of November, emergency services were called to
00:16Rollover Road at Bago. A 32 year old male was located
00:20at the location. He was naked and bleeding.
00:24Ambulance conveyed him to Port Macquarie Hospital. He was in a serious condition at the time.
00:28It was apparent that he'd been shot a number of occasions.
00:32Crime scenes were located nearby and
00:36process and Strike Force Parham was established by Mid North Coast
00:40Police District Detectives.
00:44On Wednesday evening, with great assistance from the West Australian Police
00:48a vehicle was stopped at a Baradonia south of
00:52Kalgoorlie. A 25 year old male and a 38 year old female
00:56were arrested. Located in the vehicle they were in was a loaded
01:00sawn off rifle. Those people have been
01:04now extradited by detectives from Perth back to New South Wales.
01:08The female appeared before the court at the Downing Centre yesterday and she's now
01:12remanded to Port Macquarie local court. The male will appear before the
01:16Downing Centre local court today.
01:20It was a trail runner who was out on a Sunday morning, a quiet Sunday morning jog that
01:24came across this male. When police arrived the male was
01:28being treated and put into the ambulance. Was the victim known to
01:32police at all? The person is somebody that
01:36we do know of and the circumstances
01:40around him were explored. It was apparent that
01:44he was kidnapped from a residence in Port Macquarie and
01:48taken to this location out at Vago where he was shot and left.
01:52Do we have any information about the connection between the people who
01:56were arrested and the male that was shot? They are certainly known to each other.
02:00Do we know yet what the motivation behind the kidnapping was? No.
02:04At this stage we are seeking
02:08a 27 year old female who was also involved
02:12in this offence. Walk us through the investigation into finding those two that have been
02:16charged so far. What led you guys to seek out WA? Oh I can't go
02:20into too much but what I can say is that some great work
02:24by our local detectives and we were
02:28able to locate those people in Western Australia so our assistance
02:32that we received from the West Australian Police was
02:36outstanding. Do we know yet why these people are out in WA
02:40on the other side of the country? No.
02:44Only other thing, the condition of the man who was shot, has he
02:48recovered? He remains in hospital but he's in a stable condition.
02:52Have you spoken to him? He must have been pretty traumatised by the incident.
02:56How's he kind of doing? Look I haven't spoken to him personally but yes he has
03:00been spoken to by detectives. And is there anything else around
03:04you mentioned he was found injured and naked, does it appear
03:08he's just been shot and left or have you got any other information about that?
03:12That was apparent in the scene that he'd been shot and left
03:16by the offenders and it was a short distance away where police were able
03:20to locate two scenes of interest and there was some evidence
03:24at the location which corroborated the fact that he had been shot.
