Who has the right to seize stolen property and bring it before a magistrate or peace officer?

Any person has the right to seize stolen property and bring it before a magistrate or peace officer. This principle is rooted in the concept of citizen's arrest and the societal obligation to recover stolen property. The law permits individuals, not just law enforcement officers, to take action when they witness a crime or have reasonable grounds to believe that property has been stolen. Once the stolen property has been seized, the individual must then bring it to the attention of a magistrate or peace officer, who can take further legal action. This broadens the responsibility of property recovery and ensures that stolen goods can be returned to their rightful owners as swiftly as possible.
