Eight South Australian police officers who were charged with stealing tools, electrical goods and alcohol after a corruption probe, are expected to face further charges.

Six men and two women from the Sturt Local Service Area's Operation Mantle team were charged with numerous offences, including dishonestly taking property without consent.

The Adelaide Magistrates Court previously heard that among the items stolen was a ceramic elephant, perfume and gaffer tape.

One of the officers is a sergeant and the others are senior constables or constables.

The arrests in October 2014 were the result of a joint investigation involving the Independent Commissioner Against Corruption Bruce Lander and SA Police Anti-Corruption Branch.

Prosecutor Robyn Richardson said after further investigation by police there was another 16 files for consideration.

She said more charges could be laid.

"There is a significant possibility that further charges will arise from those 16 files," Ms Richardson said.

She said prosecutors would try to look through the "voluminous" files in the next few months and consider what action to take.

"I would need a couple of months," Ms Richardson said.

"I would hope that within two months I could review and have fresh information laid and particularised."

There was a sigh from the public gallery after the prosecutor gave the time frame.

A lawyer for one of the officers said there were already so many documents that police had told him, he would need a hard drive of 1.5 terabyte capacity to get copies.

The police officers remain on bail and the case is due to return to the Adelaide Magistrates Court in June.

The officers will not be required to attend.
