Police carrying out routine vehicle checks caught a Douglas man carrying more than £1,100 worth of drugs.

Bryan Wai Kin Nam Trong Nguyen of Christian Road appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

He pleaded guilty to possessing more than 56 grammes of cannabis on September 15 after police found it when they stopped his white Mercedes.

The 23 year old told officers the drugs were for his own personal use and he'd bought them in bulk because he was a heavy user.

Magistrates bailed him in the sum of £500 and he'll appear in court again on October 15.
