(a)charged with the offence in question,
(b)released without charge and on bail to enable a decision to be made as to whether the person should be charged with the offence, or
(c)released without charge and without bail (with or without any variation in the conditions attached to the caution).
(3) Subsection (2) also applies in the case of—
(a)a person who, having been released on bail under subsection (2)(b), returns to a police station to answer bail or is otherwise in police detention at a police station;
(b)a person who, having been released on bail under Article 32A of PACE (bail elsewhere than at police station) as applied by section 76, attends at a police station to answer bail or is otherwise in police detention at a police station;

(6) The power under subsection (5) includes power to keep the person in police detention if it is necessary to do so for the purpose of investigating whether the person has failed, without reasonable excuse, to comply with any of the conditions attached to the conditional caution.

(8) Subsection (2) does not require a person who—

to be released if the person is liable to be kept in detention in relation to that other matter.

“PACE” means the Police and Criminal Evidence (Northern Ireland) Order 1989 (NI 12);
“police detention” has the same meaning as in PACE (see Article 2(3) of PACE).
