All seven men, aged from 21 to 36, were charged with kidnapping, aggravated robbery and participating in an organised criminal gang. Daly appeared on additional charges of injuring both men, assaulting both men - one of them by using teaspoons as a weapon.
He also faces a charge of recklessly discharging a pistol on a road between Tauranga and Rotorua.
The investigation began on February 17. It is alleged a man in his 20s was abducted from a property in Tauranga the night before.
Early the following morning a second man in his 40s was abducted from a property in Rotorua.
Police say three vehicles were stolen during the two incidents, including one valued at $50,000.
The older victim had escaped several hours later, and the younger one was released that night. Police claim both had been assaulted.
Six days after the alleged kidnapping Daly is believed to have been driving a stolen vehicle and led several police cars on a high-speed chase around One Tree Pt and Takahiwai before vanishing.
Police in Tauranga and Whakatane executed search warrants on Thursday while other searches were carried out in central Auckland and in the Waitemata police district.
Six men were arrested during the operation and Daly was arrested on Wednesday in Northland.
A significant amount of other stolen property was recovered, including vehicles and earth-moving machinery and a firearm was discovered.
An Auckland man appeared in the Waitakere District Court on Thursday. The five remaining men - three from the Western Bay of Plenty, one from Rotorua and one from Edgecumbe - made court appearances yesterday.
Police say they will provide no further details about the alleged kidnapping now the matter is before the court.
However, crime services manager for Bay of Plenty police, Detective Inspector Tim Anderson, warned that anyone associated with organised crime should be prepared for the consequences.
"Organised criminal gangs across New Zealand should be left under no illusion that the police will continue to seize every opportunity to disrupt their activity.
"They are living a life of intimidation, violence and drugs and the harm to society is huge and will not be tolerated."
