Officer gives warning on trying to smuggle drugs to the Island

A police officer's warned Scouse crime gangs they'll be caught if they try to smuggle drugs to the Island.

Detective Inspector Jamie Tomlinson spoke to the Liverpool Echo after a number of Merseyside gang members were caught with tens of thousands of pounds worth of drugs.

He says almost 40 per cent of prisoners at Jurby are organised crime members from the north west region.

And he added police aim to make Manx ports a hostile environment for anyone attempting to bring drugs in or take drugs money out.
