One of two men who allegedly stopped four victims while impersonating a police officer has been remanded in custody, while his co-accused has been released on bail, a court has ruled.
Samuel Mark Narroway — who the court has heard has prior convictions for impersonating a police officer and SafeWork SA inspector — was refused bail in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court on Monday.
His co-accused, Corey Wayne Cook, 34, of Findon, was released on bail.
The pair — who are each charged with multiple offences including impersonating a police officer and unlawful detention — last week applied for release on home-detention bail, which was opposed by police prosecutors.
During that hearing, the court heard the men separately approached four victims using a fake badge and flashing red and blue lights, and took one to an ATM at Marion to pay a bogus $300 fine.
It also heard Narroway, 28, of Highbury, had multiple prior convictions for deception, including impersonating a police officer and industrial relations inspector.
Both men will return to court in December.
