An alleged cocaine dealer will face trial in October over drugs found in his home.

Alex James Taylor of Malew Street in Castletown appeared before Deemster Kainth at Douglas Courthouse.

The 25 year old denies producing cannabis to the Island on October 6, 2020, and possessing cocaine with intent to supply it on New Year's Day, but admits possessing cannabis with intent to supply and having £28,350 in criminal cash on January 1.

He was bailed in the sum of £500 to appear in court again on October 11 at the start of a two-day trial.
