What must a person do after arresting someone under the authority of the Trespass to Property Act?

Release them immediately
Contact the police as soon as possible and deliver the individual to a police officer
Take them directly to court
Hold them until a warrant is issued

The correct answer is: Contact the police as soon as possible and deliver the individual to a police officer

After arresting someone under the authority of the Trespass to Property Act, the person must contact the police as soon as possible and hand over the individual to a police officer. This is because the Trespass to Property Act does not give the arresting person the power to detain the individual without involving the police. Option A, releasing the individual immediately, is incorrect because this would not involve the police and could result in the individual committing further trespassing offenses. Option C, taking them directly to court, is incorrect because the arresting person does not have the authority to do so. Option D, holding them until a warrant is issued, is incorrect because the arresting person is not responsible for obtaining a warrant - that is the role of the police.
