Police join fisheries to patrol Manx waters

Stopping vessels and pleasure craft

Police took to the water yesterday (7 July) to patrol the Isle of Man's borders.

Officers joined the sea fisheries enforcement department to stop and speak to those on vessels and pleasure craft.

It's part of Operation Strongbox which carries the tag line 'Safe Island Strong Borders'.

Work is being done to disrupt, prevent and prosecute those involved in drug importation and removal of criminal property.

Police say all those stopped on the water, whilst they were aboard the rib 'Enbarr' were found to be law abiding.
