Section 77. Warrants to whom directed

(1) A warrant of arrest shall ordinarily be directed to one or more police-officers, [2]; but [3] issuing such a warrant may, if its immediate execution is necessary and no police-officer is immediately available, direct it to any other person or persons; and such person or persons shall execute the same.

(2) Warrants to several persons. When a warrant is directed to more officers or persons than one, it may be executed by all, or by any one or more, of them. [1] [2]
