SA man 'masqueraded as bushfire victim'

An Adelaide man has been arrested after allegedly posing as a victim of the Adelaide Hills bushfire.

Police will allege the man was masquerading as a bushfire victim in order to receive a benefit for himself.

The 59-year-old was charged with attempted deception and traffic offences, including driving unregistered.

He has been granted police bail to appear in Mt Barker Magistrates Court in February.
