The person may make, to the court dealing with the breach application, an application in writing and on oath for a warrant to arrest, and to bring before that court, the young person to whom the breach application relates if the person believes on reasonable grounds that—

- all reasonable efforts have been made to locate or, as the case requires, to serve the breach application on, that young person, but those efforts have failed; or
- the breach application has been served on that young person, but the young person has failed to appear before that court.
