Eastern District detectives have arrested a woman for blackmail offences.
Police will allege that in mid-August, the woman demanded money from a man and threatened that if she did not receive payment, she would report false allegations against him to police.
The victim paid the money to the accused but was then threatened a second time.
On Friday 15 August, Eastern District CIB arrested a 43-year-old woman from Holden Hill and charged her with two counts of blackmail. The victim's money was recovered.
She was refused police bail and attended at Adelaide Magistrates Court where she was granted bail to reappear on 26 November.
Detectives continue to investigate the incidents and are urging any other potential victim of similar threats to come forward and contact police.
Anyone with information on the incidents is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at www.crimestopperssa.com.au or on 1800 333 000. You can remain anonymous.
