An increase in heroin trafficking into the United Kingdom is creating problems for law enforcement.

From The Times:

The agency leading Britain’s fight against organised crime is struggling to cope with the soaring scale of heroin trafficking, it admitted yesterday.

The Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) claimed it was making headway in tackling fraud, gun-running and the cocaine trade but that success in tackling heroin smuggling was “more elusive”.

Soca stated in its annual report: “While interdictions of both heroin and opium base surpassed those of the previous year and good leads to money flows were secured, there remained much to do, in the light of increased production, against this very difficult target.”
