Remand for Peel teen after 17 drug charges

A teenager from Peel has been remanded in custody after being accused of producing drugs to the Isle of Man.

Joshua Scott Quirk, of Corrins Way, appeared at Douglas Courthouse on Thursday.

The 19-year-old faces 17 drug charges relating to Class A, B and C substances including cocaine, cannabis, MDMA and benzodiazepine.

Six of the charges concern production, three are for attempted possession and four of possession with intent to supply.

Four charges concern possession only - in addition he's also accused of having more than £2,600 of cash believed to be criminal property.

The offences were allegedly committed between June 28th and July 4th.

Magistrates refused an application for bail - he's been remanded at the Isle of Man Prison until his next appearance on July 13th.
