Brothers remanded over drugs charges

Two brothers who've been accused of drug trafficking have been further remanded at the Isle of Man Prison.

44-year- old John Darren Connolly, of Spring Valley Road in Douglas, appeared at Douglas Courthouse this week.

He's been charged with being unlawfully concerned in the production of cocaine and of possessing the Class A drug with intent to supply it.

His brother Steven Neil Connolly, of Bootle in Liverpool, appeared alongside him - he's been charged with producing cocaine, cannabis and cannabis resin.

The 40-year- old has also been accused of being unlawfully concerned in the supply of cocaine.

All of the offences were allegedly committed on January 28.

Both men made bail applications which were refused by Magistrates - they'll next appear in court on July 13.
