(1)On an application on oath made by a constable and supported by an information a magistrates’ court may extend a warrant of further detention issued under section 43 above if it is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing that the further detention of the person to whom the application relates is justified.

(6)Subsections (2), (3) and (14) of section 43 above shall apply to an application made under this section as they apply to an application made under that section.

[F2(9)Subsection (10) applies where—
(a)a person is released under subsection (7), and
(b)a custody officer determines that—
(i)there is not sufficient evidence to charge the person with an offence, or
(ii)there is sufficient evidence to charge the person with an offence but the person should not be charged with an offence or given a caution in respect of an offence.
(10)The custody officer must give the person notice in writing that the person is not to be prosecuted.
