Authorisation of delay in notifying arrest.

An officer may also authorise delay where the serious arrestable offence is a drug trafficking offence and the officer has reasonable grounds for believing—

In section 65 of that Act (interpretation)—

“drug trafficking” and “drug trafficking offence” have the same meaning as in the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986

at the end of that section there is inserted “and references in this Part to any person’s proceeds of drug trafficking are to be construed in accordance with the Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986”.
