Man remanded on ecstasy charges

A man's been remanded in custody over allegations he had more than 200 ecstasy tablets posted to his parents' address.

Nathan Owen Briggs of Princes Avenue in Douglas appeared before Deputy High Bailiff James Brooks at Douglas Courthouse via a live videolink from prison.

The 21-year-old entered no plea to one charge each of producing MDMA, possessing it with intent to supply and producing the synthetic drug eutylone.

The court heard police intercepted two packages of tablets which were being sent to his parents' home with his name on.

Inside were 201 MDMA tablets and 56 tablets of eutylone - a search of his home address uncovered 56 more MDMA pills.

There was no bail application and he was remanded in custody to appear in court again on October 14.
