A fifth Sydney man has been charged with the alleged kidnapping of a North Shore last month man, and conspiracy to kidnap another.
The arrests follow an investigation into an alleged kidnap of a 20-year-old man on October 14, when he was allegedly confronted at midday by two men at Gore Creek Reserve at Greenwich, before being forced into a car and taken to a house in St Leonards.
The man was allegedly threatened and assaulted, before he was released, police were told.
