The writ of replevin shall be directed to a sheriff, constable, or police officer within whose jurisdiction the property is located.

It shall direct the levying officer to seize the same if it is found, and to retain it in his custody. Upon probable cause later shown by further affidavit or declaration by applicant or someone on his behalf, filed with the court, a writ of replevin may be endorsed by the court, without further notice, to direct the levying officer to search for the property at another location or locations and to seize the same, if found.
