Friday, 22 March 2024 09:55

A Liverpool man involved in a plot to bring cannabis and cocaine to the Island will appeal against his 10-year jail sentence next month.

Paul Joseph Rowan of Darwall Road in Garston was sent to prison for 10 years and eight months after pleading guilty to being concerned in producing cocaine and cannabis in 2020.

He'd sent parcels containing more than £31,000 worth of drugs to the Isle of Man and was arrested after forensic tests linked him to the packages.

Rowan is due to appear before Judge of Appeal Cross and Deemster Gough on April 26.
