the service is now totally committed to anti-drug activity. Although the main effort has centred on the prevention of illegal imports in the harbour and at the airport, there has been a concentrated drive against premises used for the manufacture and sale of drugs. During the year 894 operations were mounted leading to the seizure of 1,290 lbs of dangerous drugs, which included 38 lbs of heroin and 17 lbs of mor- phine. A total of 3,683 arrests were made in connection with these cases, five persons were found manufacturing and 124 trafficking. The majority of persons arrested were convicted of simple possession of narcotics and smoking dangerous drugs in a divan. The total value of dangerous drugs seized was more than $5 million.
