Local man charged in large scale drugs bust

Police have seized cocaine with a street value of £54,000 and £9000 in cash.

A 30-year old man from Douglas was arrested on Friday afternoon and has been charged with possession with intent to supply the 'Class A' controlled drug and assaulting a police officer. 

The man will remain in police custody until tomorrow - which is the next available court date. 

Targeting criminal networks involved in the importation and supply of controlled drugs; the Pro Active Team believes the apprehension removes a significant danger to public safety.
