35O Seizure of things not mentioned in the warrant

A licensing search warrant authorises a licensing inspector or police officer executing it, in addition to the seizure of any thing of the kind described in the warrant, to seize any thing which is not of the kind described in the warrant if the licensing inspector or police officer believes on reasonable grounds that—

(a) the thing is of a kind which could have been included in a licensing search warrant and will afford evidence of a licensing offence; and

(b) it is necessary to seize that thing in order to prevent its concealment, loss or destruction or its use in the commission of a licensing offence.
