Law of Criminal Procedure

A crime shall be deemed flagrante delicto if the perpetrator is caught in the act of committing such a crime, or shortly thereafter. It shall also be deemed flagrante delicto if the victim or a shouting crowd is found pursuing another person subsequent to the commission of the crime, or when the perpetrator is found shortly thereafter in possession of tools, weapons, property, equipment, or other items indicating that he is the perpetrator or accomplice thereto, or if, at the time, marks or signs indicating the same are found on his person.
