By Court Reporter

Two men from St Helens have been remanded at the Isle of Man Prison after being accused of trying to supply heroin.

18-year-old Adam John Helps, of Sneddon Street, and 20-year-old Luke David Graham, of Wood Street, appeared at Douglas Courthouse on Thursday (January 10).

They've been charged with possessing the Class A drug with intent to supply, possession of cannabis and having £700 of criminal property.

The duo was arrested after police carried out a raid at the Ellan Vannin Hotel in Douglas on Wednesday - the court heard the substances now need to be forensically tested.

Both men will next appear in court on January 17th.
