When there is disruption to local business, schools or hospitals.
Where significant damage has been caused to the property e.g. forced entry.
Where there is evidence of arrestable offences being committed by the trespassers.

Where any of the trespassers have used threatening behaviour.
However, Section 61 cannot be used on highways.
