Youths held for using

TOKYO — The number of
Japanese youngsters taken
into police custody for illegal
use of stimulant drugs in
creased at an alarming pace
between Jan. 1 and Nov. 30,
the National Police Agency
reported in a white paper
released recently.
In the 1981 white paper on
stimulant drugs, the agency
said that methods of smuggl
ing and distributing illegal
drugs had become increas
ingly sophisticated and more
wicked.
. The total number of crimes
involving stimulant drugs
uncovered by police authorities
increased to 34,244, up 9.8
percent over the corresponding
period of last year. .
The number of persons
caught by police for the illegal
use, possession and distribu
tion of stimulant drugs was
20,708, representing an 11
percent increase over the yearbefore level.
About half of those caught
by police were gangsters.
Of the total number of those
investigated by police, 2,434
were teen-agers, a 27.6 percent
rise over the comparable figure
for last year.
The number of high school
students taken into custody
was 123, up 31 over last year’s
comparable figure, while the
number of junior high school
students decreased by three
to 31.
Police confiscated a total of
95.46 kg of stimulant drugs
during the period, down 33.4
percent from last year’s level.
However, the total amount of
stimulant drugs confiscated by
pol ice throughout the year is
expected to be close to the
amount of last year because
about 40kg of such drugs have
been seized since the beginn
ing of December.
The white paper said that
about 44 kg of dru^s were con
fiscated in 11 ports and about
19 kg were seized in seven
ports throughout the nation.
Almost all of the contraband
stimulant drugs were smuggl
ed into this country from
Taiwan and South Korea.

involving stimulant drugs
uncovered by police authorities
increased to 34,244, up 9.8
percent over the corresponding
period of last year. .
The number of persons
caught by police for the illegal
use, possession and distribu
tion of stimulant drugs was
20,708, representing an 11
percent increase over the yearbefore level.
About half of those caught
by police were gangsters.
Of the total number of those
investigated by police, 2,434
were teen-agers, a 27.6 percent
rise over the comparable figure
for last year.
The number of high school
students taken into custody
was 123, up 31 over last year’s
comparable figure, while the
number of junior high school
students decreased by three
to 31.
Police confiscated a total of
95.46 kg of stimulant drugs
during the period, down 33.4
percent from last year’s level.
However, the total amount of
stimulant drugs confiscated by
pol ice throughout the year is
expected to be close to the
amount of last year because
about 40kg of such drugs have
been seized since the beginn
ing of December.
The white paper said that
about 44 kg of dru^s were con
fiscated in 11 ports and about
19 kg were seized in seven
ports throughout the nation.
Almost all of the contraband
stimulant drugs were smuggl
ed into this country from
Taiwan and South Korea.
