A teenage boy is accused of possessing violent extremist material, months after he was arrested over other offences.
The 15-year-old Gold Coast boy was arrested on September 8, in relation to alleged torture and indecent treatment offences.
On February 28, he was charged with one count of one possession of child exploitation material and one possession of violent extremism material.
The boy has been granted bail and was expected to appear in Southport Children’s Court on March 25.
Police urged the community to report incidents of hate crimes and serious vilification.
“Everyone in Queensland has a right to feel safe, to not feel threatened or victimised,” South Eastern Regional Crime Co-ordinator Detective Superintendent Chris Ahearn said.
“The Queensland Police Service is well positioned to monitor and assess both individuals and groups who may pose a threat to the safety and security of all Queenslanders.”
