Packages of cannabis intercepted

Seized at Southern Sorting Office

A 29-year-old's appeared before magistrates after police intercepted packages containing drugs.

The parcels - sent to Port Erin resident Kevin James Crellin - were seized at the Southern Postal Sorting Office.

Inside was a quantity of the class B substance cannabis bush.

The drugs weighed 21.6g and had a street value of £432 prompting officers to search Crellin's Ponyfields address on 3 September.

Cannabis resin worth more than £118, a small quantity of cannabis bush and two valium tablets were subsequently recovered from the property.

Crellin pleaded guilty to two charges of possession and admitted ordering cannabis through the post.

The case has been adjourned and he's due to appear in court next on 7 November.
