If you arrest someone for a summary only offence, say common assault and they run off into their address, are you able to force entry in pursuance of them? (No other offences, no one has laid handcuffs on them, there are no other offences to hand) Or not allowed full stop as it's a summary only offence?

Might be a silly one but I can't find a power of entry in order to arrest someone for breach of court bail, that being to abide by a curfew using a GPS tag. The closest power I can find is under s.17 PACE, which carries a power of entry to arrest someone unlawfully at large. I've seen some amendments might take place at some point - clause 52 of s.17 is proposed to carry a power of entry to arrest for breach of pre- or post- sentence court bail breaches but it doesn't appear to be law yet. Can anyone clarify whether we have a power of entry if we know 100% someone who has breached their tag curfew is inside their home address?
