Police will allege that between 2016 and 2018 the 30-year-old obtained 156 items by deception and pretended to be a Commonwealth official on 78 occasions.
During the investigation a Mitsubishi Triton and three horses were seized in accordance with the “Confiscation of Criminal Assets Act 2003”.
He will face charges before the ACT Magistrates Court.
