serious indictable offence has been, or appears to have been, committed, or
(ii) where an incident involving serious personal injury or major property
damage has, or appears to have, occurred, and
(b) any article found at or in
the vicinity of that place, regardless of whether or not it is, or appears to
be, connected with the commission of an offence or occurrence of an incident
referred to in paragraph (a),
for so long as is necessary to enable any
investigation into the circumstances of the offence or incident to be carried
out by police officers or other persons authorised to conduct an
investigation.
(2) The governor's obligations under this clause are subject
to the practical limitations that may from time to time arise in connection
with the administration of the correctional centre.
