Police Commissioner Michael DeSilva disclosed that $1.1 million in cash and valuables was confiscated last year under the Proceeds of Crime Act.Citing a new category in the Quarterly Crime Statistics 2012 Report, Mr DeSilva attributed the cash seizures to the recent amendments.Essentially he said the changes provided a major boost in “the measurement of enforcement activity”.Said Mr DeSilva: “Approximately $340,000 worth of cash was seized in 2012, a further $632,000 was ordered by the Court to be confiscated and $200,000 was ordered by the court to be forfeited, for a total of $1.172 million.”Illegal drugs worth an estimated $14.6 million were seized in 2012. A total of 247.4kg were seized, of which 235.4kg was cannabis worth an estimated $11.8 million.Cannabis continues to be “the most common drug” seized by police with 143.5kg worth an estimated $7.2 million, seized at the end of 2012.The report said: “The level of cannabis is unusual and is related to the seizure of a substantial amount of cannabis from the Front Street dock in November 2012.“By comparison, in 2011 160.9kg of cannabis was seized with a value of $8 million.“Cocaine was the next most common drug seized in 2012 with 10.5kg seized with a value of $2.5 million.”With nearly 380 offences, most drug seizures were made on the streets.A total of 2kg of cocaine seized in quarter four was valued at $462,000, heroin seizures amounted to 8.8kg with another 3.7kg of crack cocaine.There were 148 drug seizures made at Bermuda’s main ports of entry by sea and the airport.Another four seizures were made overseas of illegal drugs bound for Bermuda.The report said: “The Bermuda Police Service continues to work with its partners both locally and overseas to disrupt the trafficking of controlled drugs.“These partners include HM Customs, US Customs and the US Drug Enforcement Administration.”But the report noted: “Despite these partnerships, controlled drugs are still entering Bermuda which is evidenced in the number of street level seizures.”
