Notes:

(1) Accurate data are not available before 2002 due to double counting of seizures by police and customs reports.

(2) In 1995, the number of seizures based is on offences; since 1996, the number of seizures is based on police register.

(3) 2001 data include 4 seizures of liquid heroin.

(4) 2003 data refer to England, Scotland and Wales only.

(5) Data refer to seizures made by customs and the National Service for Combating Organised Crime (NACOC) from the Ministry of Interior.

(6) Up to 2003 the number of large seizures only is reported; from 2004 all seizures are reported.
