(a) who holds an interstate travel permit that authorises the offender to travel to this jurisdiction; and

(b) who is present in this jurisdiction.

(2)  The local authority may issue a warrant for the offender's arrest –

(a) if advised by the relevant interstate authority that the interstate travel permit is no longer in force in this jurisdiction; or

(b) if of the opinion that the offender has failed to comply with the conditions of the interstate travel permit.

(3)  A warrant under subsection (2) is sufficient authority for a local law enforcement officer –

(a) to arrest the offender; and

(b) to convey the offender to a place specified in the warrant (whether in this jurisdiction or an interstate jurisdiction); and

(c) to deliver the offender into the custody of an interstate law enforcement officer of the jurisdiction in which the interstate travel permit was issued.

(4)  For the avoidance of doubt, a warrant issued under subsection (2) authorises a local law enforcement officer to convey the offender within or across any interstate jurisdiction for the purpose of taking the offender to a place specified in the warrant.
