Three arrested on first day of borders re-opening

Three people were arrested on the first day the Island's borders partially re-opened.

That's the latest from Police - as they carry out 'operation strongbox' to crack down on cross-border crime.

As restrictions are eased, officers are carefully monitoring ports, freight and passengers to deal with any increase in drug trafficking and money-laundering.

Now, authorities have confirmed two people are in court today after they disembarked the boat at Douglas Sea Terminal on Sunday night.

They were charged after an imitation firearm was found in their vehicle.

Further, three people were arrested at the Sea Terminal on Monday morning - enquiries are still ongoing.
