All related to money laundering investigation

Officers from the police's Economic Crime Unit carried out five separate searches at various locations in Douglas and the south of the Island this morning.

At around 8.30am warrants were executed, with those involved looking for evidence in relation to an ongoing money laundering investigation.

Around 70 officers, including specialist search officers from the constabulary, and staff from Isle of Man Customs and Excise are assisting with the search.

They are expected to last for the next 24 hours at least.
