(A) Whenever the Police Department notifies the licensee not to sell an item, the item shall not be sold or removed from the licensed premises for a period of 60 days, or until authorized to be released by the Police Department, which ever comes first.
(B) The Police Department may remove items believed to be stolen from the licensee’s premises and hold them in the Police Department property room until it is determined whether they are stolen.

Upon criminal conviction, restitution may be sought for losses experienced by a licensee. Each licensee is responsible for establishing procedures to avoid receiving stolen property.
