A man accused of threatening Nick Kyrgios’ mother at gunpoint before stealing the tennis star’s car has pleaded not guilty to a raft of charges against him.
A man has pleaded not guilty to charges surrounding the alleged theft of tennis star Nick Kyrgios’ green Tesla last month.
A police statement of facts released by the ACT Magistrates Court alleges Kyrgios’ mother, Norlaila, opened the door of the family’s Canberra home at 8.30am on May 1 to the black-clad man brandishing a long-arm rifle and demanding the keys to the Wimbledon finalist’s green Tesla. Defence lawyer Jan de Bruin told magistrate Glenn Theakston on Tuesday morning his 32-year-old client pleaded not guilty to all five charges against him, which included aggravated robbery, driving a stolen vehicle, furious driving, and failing to stop for police.Court documents say Kyrgios’ mother was “visibly shaken and frightened” after the incident and told police she feared he was going to “return to the house and blow a hole in the door”.
Police pursued the car for a short time before arresting the man at a home in Ainslie. The man was Tasered and taken to hospital for treatment.
