s 52 When search may be made without warrant
Whenever it appears to any officer of excise that there is reasonable cause to believe that in any dwelling house, shop or other building, place, vessel or aircraft there are concealed or deposited any goods liable to forfeiture under this Act or any regulations made thereunder, or as to which an offence under this Act or any regulations made thereunder has been committed, and if he has reasonable grounds for believing that by reason of the delay in obtaining a search warrant such goods are likely to be removed, such officer may exercise in, upon and in respect of such dwelling house, shop or other building, place, vessel or aircraft all the powers mentioned in section 51 in as full and ample a manner as if he were empowered so to do by a warrant issued under that section.
