flag A 17-year-old Canberra teen faces extremist charges after a raid found weapons, attack plans, and online radical content; bail denied due to public safety concerns.

A 17-year-old Canberra teen has been remanded in custody after being charged with possessing violent extremist material and an imitation firearm, following a raid that uncovered extremist content, military gear, and plans for attacks. Authorities allege he promoted violent ideologies online, discussed bombing events and using chlorine gas, and expressed intentions to 3D-print guns. Prosecutors say more charges may come. The court denied bail, citing an "extreme risk" to the community, and the teen will return to court in January 2026. The investigation remains ongoing.
