A civilian employee of the New South Wales Police Force is facing court over allegations he unlawfully accessed restricted data contained in the police computer system.
In May 2024, officers attached to Lake Illawarra Police District commenced investigations regarding access to restricted computer systems.
At around 8am on Monday, 15 July 2024, police arrested the 27-year old man at Shellharbour and conveyed him to Illawarra Police Station, where he was charged with unauthorised access to or modification of restricted data.
He was refused bail at the police station and brought before Port Kembla Local Court where a bail application was made on his behalf.
The application was successful and the man was granted conditional bail.
