The 16-year-old has just appeared at a Wellington youth court for a bail hearing.

He has yet to enter a plea on two charges: possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition.

Judge John Walker granted him bail with electronic monitoring and 24-hour supervision by a community agency to an address.

The judge will be reviewing the case weekly.
