An investigation began in December last year after receiving information that a teenager, 15, was allegedly accessing extremist material online.

In response to this information, police executed a search at a home in Moree yesterday.

He was arrested and taken to Moree Police Station, where he was charged with using a carriage service to possess violent extremist material and possessing a prohibited weapon without a permit.

He was refused bail and will face children’s court today.

Police have reassured the community that there is no ongoing threat.
