Though the story is a bit hard to follow, it's clear which way the govt is moving.

"I just thought I'd change up my profile picture and I found that photo and saved and uploaded it. I didn't think much of it," the teen said.

He was about to go the gym with his friends on Tuesday when a friend messaged him to say there was a large police presence near his father's home.

On arrival he saw a large number of armed police blocking off the road and a bridge. His father was still out working at the time, he said.

After establishing his identity, police told the 16-year-old he was going to be arrested for possession of ammunition and a firearm in his room.

He said the firearm in his room was an 8 millimetre blank pistol. The other gun, found in his father's room was an illegal, modified SKS semi-automatic, he said.

Also in the house was his father's large collection of World War II German memorabilia, including uniforms, pouches and helmets.



Police cordoned off Poulton Ave, in the Christchurch suburb of Richmond, and covered part of a vehicle with a tarpaulin.
The teen said he was taken to a police station and interviewed about the items, initially in the presence of his brother. His mother, Dubovskiy's ex-partner, then came to the station as well.

The family were held in the station for several hours as police negotiated with Dubovskiy.

The 54-year-old tried calling his son once and ex-partner twice, however officers told them not to answer the phone. His ex-partner briefly spoke to him, and he said goodbye, his son said.

Dubovskiy also called another friend, 21-year-old Jonathan Hinds.

"He just called me brother and said goodbye," Hinds told Stuff.

Dubovskiy's son and ex-partner were allowed to leave about 4am. About an hour later the teen was sitting in his room when officers arrived at their home.

"I go to see what it is and I just see my mother and brother in tears, crying and it just hit me."
