A 55-year-old individual was taken into custody following a search warrant executed by federal police at his residence in Macquarie Fields.
During the operation, officers reportedly confiscated three gel blasters, three slingshot mounts, and a pair of metal handcuffs from the property.
In addition, three electronic devices were taken for detailed examination.
The man is accused of being responsible for several threatening phone calls to Chalmers’ office earlier this month.
He now faces charges related to making death threats and possessing weapons.
“The AFP supports freedom of speech and political expression, but criminal behaviour and threats to kill will never be tolerated,” AFP Detective Superintendent Jeremy Staunton said.
“Hiding behind a keyboard or phone does not mean you are anonymous and out of the AFP’s reach – we have the resources and technology to find you and bring you before the courts.”
