Police have hosted a conference about the risks of drug dealers from the UK targeting young and vulnerable people on the Island.
The event for professionals was held yesterday and aimed to explain county lines trafficking, where city gangs use locals to sell drugs outside their usual area.
Guest speakers included the Merseyside County Lines Team, which explained how such gangs use modern technology to facilitate drug-dealing.
Representatives from Manx Care and the Isle of Man Post Office joined MHKs to hear more about the topic.
