(2) If a warrant to arrest issued under Division 4 against an offender has not been executed within a reasonable period after it was issued or no warrant to arrest was issued against an offender under Division 4, the court may proceed to hear and determine the matter under section 69E in the offender's absence and make any order under section 69G or 69H, as applicable, if it is satisfied that the warrant has not been executed or was not issued only because the offender is not in Victoria.
