The accused, who is believed to be from Adelaide’s eastern suburbs, was arrested by detectives last Friday after an investigation by the Southern District Criminal Investigation Branch.

The man has since been granted bail before his scheduled appearance in the Christies Beach Magistrates Court on March 30.
