Australian Test cricket great Stuart MacGill did not inform police for a week after he was allegedly kidnapped at gunpoint for ransom because he felt “threatened and scared”.
MacGill was allegedly approached and threatened by a 46-year-old man he met in the Sydney suburb of Cremorne one evening, according to police.
Two more men joined the gang, and the ex-cricketer was forced into a car.
Frederick 27, Richard Schaaf 29 and Son Minh Nguyen, 42, are the other three people charged.
Three weeks after the suspected abduction near MacGill's Sydney house, Robbery and Serious Crime Squad investigators arrested the men about 6 a.m. on Wednesday.
