A Douglas man will be sentenced next month after admitting possessing heroin, cannabis and cocaine.

Liam Richard Kaighin of Empire Terrace in Douglas appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse, when he pleaded guilty to three counts of possessing drugs on September 4.

Prosecutor Barry Swain told the court police searched the 42 year old’s home shortly after 2pm and discovered the drugs, which had a street value of around £600.

Kaighin’s advocate asked for an adjournment while pre-sentencing reports are prepared.

Magistrates bailed Kaighin to appear again for sentencing on December 12.
