(b)the object concerned is in his possession,
the court finding him guilty may order that the object shall be forfeited and dealt with in such manner as the court may order.
(5)The power of the court under subsection (4) includes power to order the object to be destroyed or to be given to the prosecutor or to be placed in his custody for such period as the court may specify.
(6)If—
(a)the court proposes to make an order under subsection (4), and
(b)the person found guilty, or any other person claiming to have an interest in the object, applies to be heard by the court,
