I would like to request a statistical breakdown on the number of illegal cannabis seizures (herbal and resin) made by Justice and Home Affairs from 1st January 2019, to the date of this request.
I request that the data be broken down by:
1. Year (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025 year-to-date).
2. JCIS (Customs & Immigration) - Number of seizures made at points of entry (Airport, Harbour, Post Office).
3. Weight: The total weight of cannabis seized per year.
4. Count: The total number of individual seizure incidents per year.
