Part 4: Police Powers Chapter 8: Cross-border enforcement Section 117: Cross-border enforcement: powers of entry to effect arrest
Section 117 inserts new section 137E into Part 10 of the 1994 Act. New section 137E provides powers of entry and search for the purpose of making an arrest in respect of an offence committed in England and Wales or Northern Ireland under Part 10 of the 1994 Act (as amended by section 116). It applies only in relation to the exercise of powers of arrest in England and Wales or Northern Ireland, and only in respect of indictable offences and certain other offences. The powers of entry and search are similar to those in section 17 of PACE and Article 19 of PACE(NI).
