A sixth person has been arrested over an alleged kidnapping in Adelaide, thwarted when police stopped a ute and found a man in the back with severe head injuries.
Police discovered the man, aged in his 20s, in the tray of the ute after stopping the vehicle in the early hours of August 26.
The ute's occupants, 35-year-old Seaford man Simon Murphy and 28-year-old Hayley Carter, from Western Australia, were arrested after police searched the vehicle just after 2am.
They were charged with kidnapping and aggravated assault.
Police later charged 36-year-old Seaford Rise man Anthony Wells with aggravated kidnapping and 19-year-old Jonah Ho-Hepa Taipari, also of Seaford Rise, with aggravated kidnapping and aggravated possession of a prescribed firearm.
A sixth man, a 37-year-old of no fixed place, has now been arrested and charged with kidnapping and aggravated assault, police said in Thursday.
He was refused police bail and is expected to appear in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court on Thursday.
It's alleged the victim, from Morphett Vale, was assaulted at several locations across Adelaide's southern suburbs.
No further arrests are expected.
