for and seize that thing, and for that purpose to enter any
premises specified in the warrant.
(2) A police officer, customs officer or immigration officer, at
any time after seizing an object suspected of being a thing to
which subsection (1) applies (whether or not the seizure was
effected by virtue of a warrant under that subsection) may
apply to a magistrate for an order under this subsection with
respect to that object and the magistrate, if satisfied that—
(a) the object is a thing to which subsection (1) applies; and
(b) it is in the public interest to do so,
may, subject to subsection (4), make such order as he thinks
fit for the forfeiture of the thing and its subsequent destruction
or disposal.
(3) Subject to subsection (4), the court by or before which a
person is convicted of an offence under this Part may order
any object which it is satisfied relates to the commission of
the offence to be forfeited and either destroyed or dealt with
in such other manner as the court may direct.
(4) If any person claiming to be the owner of or otherwise
interested in any object liable to be forfeited under subsection
(2) or (3) applies to be heard by a court or magistrate, as the
case may be, the court or magistrate shall not order the object
to be forfeited unless an opportunity has been given to that
person to show cause why the order should not be made.
