The former spin wizard booked himself into the motel rather than return to his north shore home near where he was grabbed off the street and bundled into a car. It is alleged that somehow MacGill got himself tangled up between two syndicates involved in a drug deal, believed to be worth up to $2 million. A senior NSW police officer alleged to The Daily Telegraph that MacGill was somehow caught up in a dispute between the two groups and, as a result, they kidnapped him .
