I think it was just a carjack. He wanted their car, and pressed them into service as hostages and driver.

His own car was tracked down into the car park and surrounded, and he made a break on foot. then grabbed the first car and passengers he saw.

I keep running into people effected by it - my mech was the last car on the motorway,he saw all these Cop cars behind him doing a road block.Had a Skyline in yesterday - he was pulled over and hauled out of the car and his car searched.I remember commenting at the time when all the cars went past that maybe it was a training exercise because they were all going so slow for such a big emergency....

He must be a total DUMBASS. Lets see.... ummm...

The cost replace the hijacked car .. $5,000
The cost of police chase ... $30,000

Getting 25 years or more for hijacking a car cos you needed a ride..... PRICELESS.

I've pretty much concluded that I was pulled over on the motorway because the cop thought me to be suspicious! Black bike including me in all black I look like a bit of a ruffian I've been told?

"The man charged with kidnapping a Chinese family following a 45-minute hostage drama and dramatic police chase in Auckland has reappeared in court.

Meanwhile, police have confirmed that while they were dealing with the hostage drama on June 5, they received a tip-off about a potentially major incident at the SkyCity Casino.

The Herald understands that the major incident was a gang-initiated robbery and that the hostage situation was a decoy to distract officers from the activity at the casino. Police spokeswoman Noreen Hegarty said officers investigating the tip-off concluded it was a rumour, but SkyCity was alerted about the situation in case."
