##### 41 Arrest without warrant
(1) A warden may, without warrant, arrest a person if the warden has reasonable grounds to believe:
(a) that the person has committed an offence against this Act; and
(b) that proceedings against the person by summons would not be effective.
(2) A warden (other than a member of a police force who is in uniform) who arrests a person under subsection (1) must:
(a) in the case of a member of a police force—produce, for inspection by the person, written evidence of the fact that the warden is a member of a police force; or
(b) in any other case—produce the warden’s identity card for inspection by the person.
(3) Nothing in this section prevents the arrest of a person under any other law.
