More Teen Boys Charged over Violent Extremist Material
Police say forensic analysis of seized items led to new raids and charges against two boys, while a third teen was already facing similar allegations.
- On Thursday, the NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team arrested two boys, aged 15 and 16, in Moree, charging them with possession of alleged violent extremist material.
- The investigation began in December 2025 after police received reports of a teenager accessing extremist material online; forensic examination of items seized on March 27 prompted these latest arrests.
- Officers allegedly seized a ballistic-style vest, notebooks, and handwritten notes containing extremist references during Thursday's operation, alongside a mobile phone recovered in the earlier search warrant.
- Both teenagers were refused bail and are due to appear before the Parramatta children's court on Friday, following similar charges brought against another 15-year-old boy arrested in March.
- Police urged anyone with information regarding extremist activity to contact the National Security Hotline at 1800 123 400, as authorities monitor ongoing community threats.
