Jamie Maihi Perfect, 32, of Dairy Flat, faces multiple charges, including kidnapping and using a shotgun in a burglary, following a kidnapping incident on Auckland’s North Shore.
The victim, a woman forcibly placed in a car after a gun was fired at a property in Beach Haven, sustained serious injuries requiring hospitalisation.
Perfect appeared in court, where Judge Kirsten Lummis granted him 72 hours to contact his mother before allowing publication of his name.
Meanwhile, a 28-year-old woman arrested in connection with the case faces charges related to methamphetamine. Another suspect, Ralph Park, 25, remains at large, with police believing he may be seeking medical attention for an injury sustained on the night of the kidnapping.
