3.42 .         Impounded non-perishable goods

        (1)         When any non-perishable goods have been removed and impounded under section 3.39 the local government is required to either —

            (a)         institute a prosecution against the alleged offender; or

            (b)         give the alleged offender notice that the goods may be collected from a place specified during such hours as are specified.

        (2)         If after 7 days after the goods were removed, a local government has been unable to give the alleged offender a notice under subsection (1)(b) because it has been unable, after making reasonable efforts to do so, to find the alleged offender, the local government is to be taken to have given that notice.
