Man admits hiding drugs in trousers

A Laxey man caught hiding a stash of drugs down the front of his trousers will be sentenced in August.

26-year- old Wayne Vincent Dale, of Glen Mooar, had the cocaine and cannabis when he was stopped outside The Outback in Douglas on March 18.

Door staff ejected him from the nightclub at 1.30am after seeing him acting suspiciously in the toilets.

At Douglas Courthouse this week Dale pleaded guilty to possessing the Class A and Class B substances and a further charge of cultivating cannabis.

The court was told police found 2.4 grams of cocaine - valued at £210 - and 5.1 grams of cannabis; a search of his home afterwards revealed seven 'immature' cannabis plants.

In interview Dale told officers the drugs were for his own personal use.

Social enquiry reports have been requested before he's sentenced on August 1- he's been bailed in the meantime.
