62. Search of premises not identified in warrant

 

(1) If a senior SARS official has reasonable grounds to believe that—
(a) the relevant material referred to in section 60(1)(b) and included in a warrant is at premises not identified in the warrant and may be removed or destroyed;
(b) a warrant cannot be obtained in time to prevent the removal or destruction of the relevant material; and
