Crown prosecutor Hayley Sheridan said the Crown supported Mr Mabey's application for the same reason.
After hearing further submissions, which cannot be made public for legal reasons, Judge Wolff said he agreed it was appropriate that the suppression order remains in place until further order of the court.
Mr Mabey also told Judge Wolff that his client wanted to seek bail.
The defendant who was arrested last Tuesday and first appeared in Hamilton District Court on January 9, is due back in Tauranga District Court at 9.15am tomorrow for a bail hearing.
Police have not ruled out further arrests and say they still have plenty of work to do in the investigation.
Anyone with more information is asked to contact Waihi Beach or Waihi police stations or call the inquiry crimeline 0800 OP BRAD (0800 672 723).
