Response
Data for the whole of the past 10 years is no longer held. However, detailed breakdowns of weight, purity and number of cocaine seizures by Jersey Customs from 2012 and by the States of Jersey Police from 2011 are provided in the tables below.
Where purity is marked ‘n/a’, data is not available (this is likely to be because the drug was only ‘field tested’, or that purity was not provided following formal analysis).
