Sentence date set for Douglas man caught with £14K of cannabis

39-year-old admits seven offences

A Douglas man will be sentenced next year after being caught with more than £14,000 of cannabis.

James Lee Vincent, of Mountain View, admitted five offences of possessing the class B drug during an appearance at Douglas Courthouse.

The 39-year-old also entered guilty pleas to possessing cannabis with intent to supply and having more than £9,000 in criminal cash.

Police raided Vincent’s home, and his mother’s property on School Road in Onchan, on 8 November.

As well as recovering more than 600 grams of the drug they found drug paraphernalia and money.

Sentencing will take place at the Court of General Gaol Delivery – a social enquiry report has been requested before he appears at that court on 6 January.

There was no application for bail and Vincent was remanded at the Isle of Man Prison until that date.
