I was under the impression that Sirius Black WAS an Auror, so the MoM 
would have had to send specially trained "hit wizards" (the Green 
Berets or Seals of the Aurors?) to capture one of their own. 

This may also explain why Sirius wasn't killed on sight. As an Auror, 
his co-workers might have wanted to give him the chance of a trial, 
especially since he proclaimed his innocence.

Can someone back me up on the Sirius as an Auror reference? I lent 
out most of my HP books...
