A teenager from Peel will be sentenced next month after admitting 10 drugs charges.

19-year-old Joshua Scott Quirk, of Corrins Way, appeared at Douglas Courthouse last week.

He'd previously admitted being concerned in the production of Class A, B and C drugs and of possessing substances, including cocaine, MDMA and cannabis, with intent to supply.

Quirk also admitted having £2,600 of criminal property and of possessing cannabis - all offences took place on July 3rd and 4th.

Social Enquiry Reports have been requested before he's sentenced on September 25th - there was no application for bail and he was remanded at the Isle of Man Prison.
