CRIMES (SENTENCING) ACT 2005 - SECT 133XR

Arrest without warrant—breach of therapeutic correction obligations

    (1)     This section applies if a police officer believes on reasonable grounds that a young offender has breached any of the offender's therapeutic correction obligations.

    (2)     The police officer may arrest the young offender without a warrant.

    (3)     A police officer who arrests a young offender under this section must, as soon as practicable, bring the offender before the sentencing court.

    (4)     However, if the sentencing court is not sitting, the police officer must, as soon as practicable, bring the young offender before a magistrate for a decision in relation to bail until the offender can be brought before the sentencing court.

Note     For remanding or granting bail to the offender, see the Bail Act 1992
