Powers of arrest.

12.(1) Any person may arrest without warrant anyone who is, or whom he, with
reasonable cause, suspects to be, in the act of committing or attempting to
commit an offence against section 5 or 8 of this Act.

(2) If it is made to appear by information on oath before a justice of the
peace that there is reasonable cause to believe that any person has in his
custody or possession or on his premises any stores in respect of which an
offence against section 5 of this Act has been committed, the justice may
issue a warrant to a constable to search for and seize the stores as in the
case of stolen goods, and the Police (Property) Act 1897 shall apply as if
this subsection were among the enactments mentioned in section 1(1) of that
