Man admits dealing cocaine after selling to undercover police

A drug dealer has fallen foul of an undercover police operation.

Robert Ward, of New Castletown Road in Douglas, appeared before Deputy High Bailiff Rachael Braidwood at Douglas Courthouse.

The 36-year-old admitted two counts of being concerned in supplying cocaine on September 30 and October 7.

He was approached by Operation Nightjar officers in Jaks bar in Douglas, and when asked if he could get them cocaine he contacted another person on Snapchat.

They arrived and sold officers wraps of cocaine for £200 - he directed them to the dealer a second time for two wraps of the class A drug.

The case was committed to the Court of General Gaol Delivery for sentencing and Ward was bailed to appear there on March 8.
