Pair admit smuggling £18,000 worth of cannabis to the Island

Two people have admitted trying to smuggle almost a kilogram of cannabis worth more than £18,000 to the Island.

Finlay McGregor of Shore Road in Laxey and Aalish Marilyn Kissack of Empress Drive in Douglas appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse.

21 year old McGregor and 18 year old Kissack pleaded guilty to being concerned in producing cannabis on February 17.

McGregor also admitted possessing cannabis and £13,371 in criminal cash - but denies owning an £18,000 Rolex watch which prosecutors say was bought with the proceeds of crime.

Both were bailed in the sum of £500 on condition they don't contact each other, and they're due to appear in court again on January 4.
