41F. Seizure of things not mentioned in the warrant

A search warrant authorises a member of the police force executing the
warrant, in addition to the seizure of any thing of a kind described in the
warrant, to seize any thing which is not of a kind described in the warrant if
the member believes on reasonable grounds-

   (a)  that the thing-

   (i)  is of a kind which could have been included in a warrant issued under
        section 41E; or

   (ii) will afford evidence about the commission of an offence against
        section 41A, 41B or 41C; and

   (b)  that it is necessary to seize that thing in order to prevent its
        concealment, loss or destruction or its use in the commission of an
        offence against section 41A, 41B or 41C.
