Police recruits to 'cycle' the Island's coastline - twice

Saturday, 2 April 2016 00:00

How many times can an Isle of Man Constabulary team cycle the coastline of the Isle of Man for charity?

That's student constable Harry Jones.

Eight student police constables and their sergeants are looking to cover a minimum of 198 miles - or two round trips - on three stationary bikes in the Stand Shopping Centre today.

The recruits want to raise as much as possible for Give a Gift - a charity aimed at helping vulnerable people on the Island.

They'll be there from 9am - 5pm - Harry asks people head along and give them some support:
