Alleged drugs gang in court

Four men have appeared in court accused of being part of a drugs ring.

34 year old Francis Richard Dunne of Vauxhall in Liverpoool appeared alongside his brother 32 year old Liam Dunne of Bootle, 39 year old Stephen Joseph James Alty of Litherland and 31 year old Jamie Mark Smith of Maple Avenue in Onchan.

The four men are facing a total of 15 charges relating to the supply of around £600,000 of cannabis between February and May last year.

All of them deny the charges against them, and none made an application for bail when they appeared at Douglas Courthouse.

Magistrates remanded all four in custody and they'll appear again on June 6.
