A 32-year-old Canberra man was arrested on Tuesday after he allegedly threatened Nick Kyrgios’ mum with a long-barrel gun and demanded the keys to his car at about 8.30am on Monday.

According to a statement by ACT Police, officers raided a Gilmore home on Tuesday afternoon and allegedly found a shotgun believed to be the firearm used during the robbery.
