Teenager pleads guilty to possession of almost £9,000 of drugs

A teenager from Douglas will be sentenced at the Court of General Gaol Delivery after being caught with almost £9,000 of drugs.

Joseph Dylan Brady of Circular Road admitted three offences when he appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas Courthouse.

The 19 year old pleaded guilty to possessing £2,800 in criminal cash, 325 grammes of cannabis worth £6,500 and 22 grammes of cocaine with a street value of £2,200.

All of the offences were committed at his home on June 24 and 25.

Mrs Hughes said her sentencing powers were insufficient to deal with Brady, and she committed him to the higher court for sentence.

He was remanded in custody and will appear again on July 15.
