42 Receipt for seized things

(1) As soon as practicable after an authorised officer seizes a thing, the officer must give a receipt for it to the person from whom it was seized.

(2) However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1) , the officer must leave the receipt at the place of seizure, in a reasonably secure way and in a conspicuous position.

(3) An authorised officer need not give a receipt for a seized thing if—

(a) the thing is unattended when seized; and

(b) the officer does not know who the owner of the thing is; and

(c) the officer can not find the owner after making reasonable inquiries (given the thing’s value).

(4) The receipt must generally describe each thing seized and its condition.
