BY IAN CROUCH

It's been revealed two Hunter men have been charged over the alleged kidnapping of a family of four in the state's Central West.

It's alleged 23-year-old Adam McKay from Cardiff South and 29-year-old Samuel Towney of Mayfield broke into a house near Condobolin early Tuesday morning and bashed and bound a 68-year-old man before dousing the home in petrol and setting it alight.

They're also accused of kidnapping the man's wife, daughter and two grandsons.

McKay and Towney were tracked down with the help of a police helicopter north west of Sydney.

A third man, 44-year-old Jason McKay has also been charged.
