Police thank public for 'Manx Community Spirit' after finding rough sleeper

Police say they've found a rough sleeper after raising concerns about him.

On social media, officers said they wanted to make sure he was OK after he was spotted in the Abbeylands area.

It's thought he'd been given shelter over Christmas after being found sleeping in a shop doorway on Prospect Terrace.

After their appeal this morning they say they've located him and are happy he has 'suitable warm and dry accommodation.'

Lastly, officers have thanked members of the public for showing 'True Manx Community spirit' - particularly those who offered to get the man a hotel, if needed.
