A man in Christchurch has been charged in court over possession of explosives, ammunition and offensive weapons.
The 33-year-old suspect was arrested at a service station in eastern Christchurch on Tuesday after the bomb disposal officers dealt with a suspected explosive device at a vacant property in another suburb.
Police confirmed the man had no known links to the March attacks and "were not seeking anyone else in relation to the incident".
