Sydney teenager charged with terror offences after allegedly posting threats of extremist violence

NSW police allege the boy ‘held a mixed ideology and outlined plans for acts of violence’

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with multiple terrorism offences after he allegedly posted threats of extremist violence online.

Police initially arrested and charged the boy with weapons offences in December after the NSW Joint Counter Terrorism Team received reports of someone making violent threats online, the Australian Federal Police said in a statement on Wednesday morning.
