Man admits to drug offences

A man’s pleaded guilty to what’s been described as a large-scale cannabis dealing operation.

James Anthony McKenzie, whose address was given as the Jurby Prison, appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas Courthouse.

The 29 year old admitted possessing cannabis, being concerned in its supply and possessing £8,225 in criminal property between July last year and April this year.

The court heard information downloaded from his mobile phone revealed he was a dealer who was owed thousand of pounds for drugs he’d supplied.

Mrs Hughes remanded him in custody, and he’ll appear in court again on September 19.
