Whenever a law enforcement official from any agency notifies a licensee not to sell an item, the item must not be sold or removed from the premises. This initial or investigative hold shall be confirmed in writing within 72 hours and remains in effect for 15 days from the date of initial notification. Local law enforcement may, in writing, extend an investigative hold or independently order an item held for up to 90 days, or order the confiscation of an item identified as stolen or evidence in a criminal case.
