Any officer who shall seize any property under a search warrant shall give a copy of the warrant, together with an itemized receipt for the property, to the person from whom it was taken or in whose possession it was found or, in the absence of any person, such officer shall leave said copy and receipt in the place where he found the property. The officer who executes a search warrant shall return the same to the issuing magistrate, together with a written inventory of the property taken, made in the presence of at least one credible person other than the officer.

The magistrate shall, upon request, exhibit the inventory to any person claiming the property and to the applicant for the warrant and allow copies to be made thereof.
