The accused weapons supplier for an alleged Islamic State-inspired plot in Melbourne will remain in custody at least until late July after his matter was adjourned.
Narre Warren teenager Mehran Azami's case was mentioned briefly but he was not required to appear in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday.
The 19-year-old has been charged with importing more than 200 weapons, including AK-47 flick knives and tasers designed to look like iPhones, after pre-dawn raids on April 18 which targeted an alleged plan to attack police at Anzac Day services.
The Operation Rising raids also collected 18-year-old Sevdet Ramdan Besim, of Hallam, and Harun Causevic, 18, of Hampton Park, who have been charged with conspiring to commit an act of terror.
Police allege Azami was importing weapons for the pair "as part of their pursuits prior to and up to Anzac day".
Customs and police seized knuckle dusters, tasers and flick knives they allege Azami ordered from a Chinese website.
But many items also ordered remain unaccounted for, a court heard a couple of weeks ago when Azami applied for bail.
Azami, who was denied bail, will reappear on July 27 charged with a string of weapons offences.
Besim and Causevic also remain in custody.
Police say the men were linked to Numan Haider, a Melbourne teenager shot dead during a knife attack on police last year.
