ARREST IN FLAGRANTE DELICTO:

         For this type of warrantless arrest to be valid, two requisites must concur:

      "(1) the person to be arrested must execute an overt act indicating that he has just committed, is actually committing, or is attempting to commit a crime; and,

          (2) such overt act is done in the presence or within the view of the arresting officer."

        A common example of an arrest in flagrante delicto is one made after conducting a buy-bust operation.
