A police officer may arrest without warrant a person on bail in criminal proceedings —
if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is not likely to surrender to custody;
if the officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the person is likely to break or has broken a condition of his bail; or
if a surety notifies the officer that the person is unlikely to surrender to custody and for that reason wishes to be relieved of his obligations as surety.
A person arrested under subsection (1) shall, as soon as practicable, be brought before —
the court that granted him bail; or
the police officer who granted him bail or, if that officer is not available, an officer of a rank equal to or higher than the rank of the officer that granted him bail, as the case may be.
A court or police officer before whom a person is brought under subsection (2) shall remand the person in custody if the court or officer is of the opinion that the person —
is not likely to surrender to custody; or
is likely to break or has broken a condition of his bail,
but if not of that opinion shall release him on bail subject to the same conditions, if any, as were originally imposed.
