Police investigating reports of a drunken youth in Melbourne's west uncovered a stun gun disguised as a cellphone.

Police say the device, found last Thursday and acquired from overseas, looked like a cellphone but had a stun gun attached to it.

They seized the weapon from a 16-year-old boy.

The boy is expected to be charged with possessing a prohibited weapon.

The phone/stun gun, branded as the Immobiliser, can be bought online for US$51 (NZ$78) but the manufacturer warns that they are illegal in Australia.

The weapons is a 900k-volt stun gun in the shape of mobile.
