        (a)     a description of the thing seized;

        (b)     an explanation of why the thing was seized;

        (c)     the authorised person's name, and how to contact the authorised person;

        (d)     if the thing is moved from the premises where it is seized—where the thing is to be taken;

        (e)     if an authorised person has restricted access to the thing under section 823 (4) (b)—it is an offence under section 823  (5) to interfere with the thing without an authorised person's approval.
