action against illicit distilling, the misuse of industrial diesel oil, etc, in 1971 was reflected by the large numbers of seizures and arrests made, and by the increased revenue collected on the dutiable commodities.
The service also fulfils an important role in the prevention and detection of illegal trafficking in dangerous drugs such as opium and heroin. Action on this front was stepped up during 1971. In addition to the normal ship and aircraft searching, the service was also involved in the raiding of drug outlets throughout the Colony. One hundred and twelve establishments found to be used for traffick- ing, storage, manufacture or smoking of dangerous drugs were successfully raided, resulting in the arrest of 695 people. A total of 468 lbs of dangerous drugs of all forms was seized; this was almost four times as much as the total quantity seized in 1970.
