POLICE arrested a 17-year-old man following an incident with what is believed to be a hand gun.
A 65-year-old Ebbw Vale man was threatened with a gun, bound and pushed into his car outside the town's leisure centre on Monday evening.
As the offender got into the driver's seat, the victim was able to free himself, run into the Leisure Centre and alert a member of staff who contacted the police.
Police say the arrested youth is also being held in connection with a robbery last year which took place last year.
