Group suspected of bringing drugs to the Island to appear in court 

It's believed a small boat was used to transport a significant amount of cannabis 

Three people accused of bringing a significant amount of drugs to the Island are expected to appear at Douglas Courthouse today (20 November).

Police arrested the group on Friday evening at Battery Pier. 

It's thought a small boat was used to transport a significant amount of cannabis here.

Two men were detained on board the vessel and one further male was apprehended in a nearby car. 

All three, who are all from the Island, have since been charged with serious drug related offences and are due to appear in court later.

A fourth male has also been arrested as part of a wider investigation and has been released on police bail pending further enquiries.
