Dealing with items seized
11 Dealing with items seized
For the purposes of sections 13AQ and 13T of the Act, a police officer carrying out a search must deal with an item seized in accordance with this regulation.
If the item may be required as evidence of an offence, the police officer in charge of the place of detention must direct that the item be retained.
If subregulation (2) does not apply, the police officer in charge of the place of detention must direct that the item be—
returned to the owner of the item if reasonably practicable in the circumstances and the police officer in charge forms the reasonable belief that the person from whom the item was seized is not entitled at law to possess it; or
stored as part of the property of the detained person from whom the item was seized.
