Police make further arrests over Palmerston kidnapping

Northern Territory police have arrested another two men over a kidnapping at Palmerston last week.

It is alleged a group of men broke into a house at Durack last Wednesday night and dragged a 21-year-old man into their car.

Two men were granted bail when they appeared in court last week, charged with kidnapping for ransom, unlawful entry while armed and deprivation of liberty.

Detectives arrested two other men last night. They will face the Darwin Magistrates Court today charged with the same offences.

Police are looking for a fifth person in relation to the kidnapping.
