Class A drugs trafficking is the priority for most law enforcement agencies throughout the world.
The trade in 'hard' drugs such as heroin and cocaine is considered by police as the greatest threat to life, either through violent killings given the high money stakes and/or addiction.
Need or greed means that drug traffickers often resort to ingenious methods to get their consignments past the authorities.
