Detention and seizure of produce. 22.(1) An authorised officer or a constable may seize and may detain in custody any produce to which this Part applies which is being, or which is on reasonable grounds suspected by such an officer or constable of being, sent out of Northern Ireland in contravention of any provision of this Part or of any regulation made thereunder or in breach of any condition of a licence issued under this Part or of a permit issued under the succeeding provisions of this Act. (2) Where any person detains produce in his custody under this section, he shall, as soon as possible, either (a)release the produce; or (b)take such steps as may be proper to have dealt with according to law the person believed to be guilty of the offence committed, or believed to have been committed, in relation to the produce, and may release the produce when he considers that its detention is no longer necessary for the purposes of the legal proceedings. (3) Produce released under subsection (2) shall be delivered to the consignor at the place of detention or, if an authorised officer agrees, at such other place within Northern Ireland as the consignor elects, and, if the consignor fails to take delivery at such place within such reasonable period of time as may be specified by the authorised officer, shall be sold and the proceeds, less any expenses incurred by the Ministry or a constable in connection with such seizure, detention or sale, shall be paid to the consignor.
