A man who was arrested getting off the ferry with up to £15,000 of cocaine and heroin will be sentenced in July.

37 year old Christopher David Diffin has admitted producing heroin and cocaine and possessing both drugs with intent to supply them.

He was arrested along with another man on March 28 at the Sea Terminal after police found two packages of drugs weighing more than 60 grams.

Deemster Montgomery remanded Diffin in custody when he appeared at the Court of General Gaol Delivery this week - he'll appear again on July 6.
