Brunei Darussalam, he shall be dealt with under section 29.

If there is no reason to believe that he has committed an offence, he shall be at once released.

Any person who commits an offence on or with respect to the property of another may, if his name and address are unknown, be apprehended by the person injured or by any person who is using the property to which the injury is done, or by the servant of either of such persons or by any person authorised by or acting in aid of either of such persons, and may be detained until he gives his name and address and satisfies such person that the name and address so given are correct or until he can be delivered into the custody of a police officer.

If any person lawfully apprehended under subsection (5)
