	(a)	to enter on or into the premises; and
	(b)	to search the premises for things of that kind; and
	(c)	to seize any thing of that kind found on or in the premises that he or she believes on reasonable grounds to be connected with that offence.

22	Searches in emergencies
	(1)	An inspector may enter on or into any premises where he or she believes on reasonable grounds that any thing connected with an offence against this Act is situated and may seize any such thing found on or in the premises if—
	(a)	the inspector believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to do so in order to prevent the concealment, loss or destruction of any thing connected with an offence against this Act; and
	(b)	the entry is made in circumstances of such seriousness and urgency as to require and justify immediate search or entry without the authority of a warrant issued under section 21.
