Thursday, 30 January 2014 00:00

Two men have been arrested for serious drug offences today after £45,000 of cocaine was seized by police.

A 30-year-old man from Douglas and a 31-year-old man from Lancashire are currently at Police Headquarters assisting police with enquiries.

The Pro Active Team says seizing the class A substance, which was destined for the streets of the Isle of Man, is a significant seizure.

It says anyone that is involved in dealing, or bringing, drugs to the Island should prepare to be caught and to spend a long time in prison.
