WATER ACT 1989 - SECT 291H

Seizure of things not named in the warrant

A search warrant issued under section 291E authorises the authorised water officer executing the warrant, in addition to seizing any thing under the warrant, to seize any thing if the authorised water officer believes, on reasonable grounds—

        (a)     that the thing is of a kind that could have been included in or seized under the warrant and that will afford evidence about the commission of an offence against this Act, or any regulation or by-law made under this Act; 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 this Act, or any regulation or by-law made under this Act.
