Three teenagers have been charged with conspiring to prepare or plan a terrorist act following a sprawling investigation into the alleged Sydney church knife attack.

More than 400 officers were involved in sweeping searches across Sydney and Goulburn on Wednesday following the alleged stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel.

The popular Christian leader was allegedly stabbed six times by a 16-year-old boy who has since been charged with a terrorism-related offence and is on remand.

A further five juvenile males were charged after the raids, including three charged with conspiring to engage in an act in preparation for, or planning, a terrorist act.

The boys, the identities of which are not known, are aged between 16 and 17, with the older male also facing a single charge of having a knife in a public place.

Another two males, aged 14 and 17, were also charged with possessing or controlling violent extremist material obtained or accessed using a carriage service.

All five teens were refused bail to appear before a Sydney Children’s Court on Thursday, with other juveniles and men assisting police with their ongoing investigation.

More to come.
