A man will be sentenced in June after admitting dealing drugs via Snapchat.

Jared Forsythe of Ballakermeen drive in Douglas was excused appearing before Deemster Cook in the Court of General Gaol Delivery.

He’d previously admitted converting and transferring criminal property, possessing cannabis with intent to supply it and being concerned in its supply.

The 18 year old had paid £23,000 into his bank account and when police raided his home they discovered messages on Telegram and Whatsapp offering drugs for sale.

Deemster Cook bailed Forsythe to appear in court again on June 29.
