The defendant need not be granted bail if—
(za) the defendant—
(i) is a child or young person, or
(ii) has been convicted in the proceedings of an offence;
(a) it appears to the court that, having been previously granted bail in criminal proceedings, he has failed to surrender to custody in accordance with his obligations under the grant of bail; and
(b) the court believes, in view of that failure, that the defendant, if released on bail (whether subject to conditions or not) would fail to surrender to custody.
