Search and seizure warrants

48. (1) If a magistrate is informed by affidavit that there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that there may be in a place:
(a) a thing that may be material as evidence in proving an offence for which a provisional arrest warrant was issued or surrender of a person is sought; or
(b) a thing that has been acquired by a person as a result of such an offence;
and the affidavit sets out those grounds, the magistrate may issue a warrant authorising a police officer, with such assistance, and by such force, as is necessary and reasonable:
(c) to seize the thing; or
(d) to enter the place and seize the thing; or
(e) to enter the place, search the place for a thing of that kind and seize any thing of that kind found in the place.
