Arrest

A warrant is not needed for arrest and it can be carried out by anyone if a person is in the act of committing an offence or there are reasonable grounds to suspect someone is committing an offence. 

Anyone may carry out an arrest on someone who is guilty or suspected of guilt of an arrestable offence. 

A constable may arrest without a warrant anyone about to commit an arrestable offence of anyone suspected to be about to commit one.
