Man1-ID: LHBSAP1 LEGAL HANDBOOK FOR SPECIAL AGENTS PART 1 surrounding grounds and any garage, storage rooms, and out buildings of any kind located thereon." In giving a street address, it is important to specify "North," "South," "East," or "West," if that is part of the address. Also, the "Street," "Place," or "Drive," as the case may be, should be shown. (b) Apartment - An apartment unit, not the entire apartment building should be particularly described, unless probable cause dictates otherwise. The apartment number or letter must be included, where possible. If such a designation is not available, the location of the apartment within the building must be otherwise definitively shown. For example, "1324 Graham Park Road, Dumfries, Virginia, Apartment No. 1-A, further described as an apartment unit within a two-story, multiunit apartment house, white brick structure bearing the name Lynn House Apartments,' and all rooms, attics, and other parts within Apartment No. 1-A, and all garages, trash containers, and storage areas designated for the use of Apartment No. 1-A." (c) Store or Business - The address, name of the business and brief description of its outer appearance should be stated. For example: "The premises known as Joe's Coffee Shop, ' located at 1314 Jefferson Davis Highway, Triangle, Virginia, a coffee shop in a single- story commercial building, with the word Joes’ appearing in large black letters on the front window, and all rooms, dining areas, service areas, kitchens, pantries, stoves, refrigerators, restrooms and other parts within the business, including an office located in the rear of the premises, and any storage rooms, storage areas, trash areas and trash containers attached or unattached." (d) Vehicles - As a general rule, the color, make, model and license number of the vehicle to be searched is sufficient to constitute an adequate description. For example: "a red, 1999 Ford Explorer, sport model, bearing VA license CFU 527." If the license number of the vehicle is unknown, details of its appearance, so as to distinguish it from other vehicles, should be included. Examples of such distinguishing characteristics would be: a broken right headlight, a dented right fender, or a distinctive decal. (e) Persons - The description of a person should include his or her name, sex, race, age, height, weight, hair color, and eye color, as well as distinguishing tattoos or marks. If the search of the person is being conducted in conjunction with the search of premises, the Agent should include in the description his/her belief that the person will be located within_the described premises.
