2010 (5835 g of ephedrine and 150 thousand tablets containing ephedrine), i.e. of another important pervitin precursor; see Table 10-3 and Table 10-4. The number of seizures and the quantity of cocaine seized have been increasing since 2008; in 2010 a total of 42 seizures of a total quantity of 14.2 kg of cocaine were reported. The Customs Drug Unit reported 11 seizures of a total of 13.1 kg of cocaine (compared to 8.1 kg in 2009) smuggled in body cavities (by the so-called swallowers), in garments, luggage, and postal consignments. Cocaine was most often smuggled from South America by air. As far as heroin is concerned, the number of seizures and the quantity seized remain relatively stable, reaching approximately 50–100 seizures of 20–40 kg annually. The Customs Drug Unit reported two seizures of a total quantity of 10 kg of heroin in 2010, with the largest shipment being transported in luggage by air from Libya via the Czech Republic to Denmark.

The breakdown of the seizures for 2010 by weight shows that almost two thirds of the marijuana seizures involved quantities less than 100 grams, with most of the seizures (153) being of quantities under 15 grams. There were 48 (11%) seizures of quantities exceeding 1 kg each, with 6 seizures being of more than 10 kg each. As far as cannabis plants are concerned, 18 seizures (10%) involved five plants or fewer; seizures of 6–50 plants accounted for 97 seizures (50%); 14 seizures (7%) concerned quantities of over 1,000 plants, and 4 seizures involved over 3,000 plants. For hashish, 81% of the seizures were of quantities less than 50 grams, with the largest seizure being of 8.8 kg. 85% of the pervitin seizures involved less than 50 grams of the drug, mostly (100 seizures) in the category of under 2–10 grams; the two largest amounts of pervitin that were seized weighed 3.2 kg combined. As far as cocaine is concerned, most seizures (11) were of quantities of 11–50 grams, and the largest seizure was of 6 kg of the drug. For heroin, 80% of the seizures involved less than 50 grams each; 3 seizures were of over 1 kg each, and the largest seizure was of 17 kg of heroin. All the seizures of ecstasy (16) were of quantities of 300 tablets or less, with 11–50 tables being seized in the largest number of seizures (7) (Národní protidrogová centrála SKPV Policie ČR, 2011c) 10.3 Price/Purity Until 2009, information about the prices of the basic types of drugs in the Czech Republic was determined according to estimates provided by the regional headquarters and territorial departments of the Police of the Czech Republic to the National Drug Headquarters. From 2010 on, the information has been based on the prices reported in connection with specific drug offences, provided that the information is available. Drug purity data are only available for a part of the drugs seized and are mostly obtained from the Departments for Forensic and Technical Analyses of page 137
the regional police headquarters on a continuous basis and from the Forensic Science Institute in Prague on an annual basis. The price and purity of most basic drugs were stable in 2010 despite certain fluctuations in price (e.g. cocaine and ecstasy) and purity (e.g. hashish, ecstasy, and heroin). However, the data provided below have a limited informative value because the number of samples on the basis of which the price and purity figures are determined is rather low in some cases and because the statistical evaluation of the purity combines drug samples from high-volume seizures of a drug with a higher concentration of the active substance with samples of the drug from the street level of the drug market, where the purity is lower; see Table 10-5 and Table 10-6. Table 10-5: Average and most commonly reported (modus) prices of drugs in 2007–2010 (€) (Národní protidrogová centrála SKPV Policie ČR, 2011d).
