Drugs accused remanded in prison

Two Merseyside men facing drugs charges have been remanded in custody.

18 year old Adam John Helps and 21 year old Luke David Graham, both of St Helens, appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse last week.

Both are charged with possessing heroin, possessing the class A drug with intent to supply it and possessing criminal property.

They’re alleged to have been caught with 29 wraps of heroin worth £725 on January 9.

The court heard DNA and fingerprint tests have yet to be carried out on the drugs, a process which is expected to take up to four weeks.

Neither man applied for bail and both were remanded in Jurby prison until their next court appearance on February 28.
