Ramsey teenagers facing drug charges remanded in custody

Two Ramsey teenagers have been remanded in custody as they face drugs charges.

Matthew John George Williams of May Hill and Michael Peter Gawne of Waterloo Road appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes via a live video link from the Isle of Man prison.

At a previous hearing 19 year old Mr Gawne denied producing 1,466 MDMA tablets and 1.7kg of cannabis, while 18 year old Mr Williams has yet to enter pleas to the charges.

Prosecutor Chrissie Hunt told the hearing forensic tests in the UK had been severely delayed by coronavirus restrictions, and results were likely to be delayed until May.

Mrs Hughes remanded both in custody, and they’ll appear in court again on April 16.
