Three arrests on first day of border relaxations

Two in court charged with firearms offences

Three people were arrested in Douglas on the first day of a relaxation for the Isle of Man's borders.

It comes as the police carry out 'Operation Strongbox' which is aiming to tackle any issues involving criminal activity at the Manx borders.

Two people have been charged with firearms offences after an imitation firearm was found in their vehicle after disembarking from the boat on Sunday night.

They are appearing in court today.

Three were arrested in total on Monday morning at Douglas Sea Terminal in relation to two separate criminal matters which are still being investigated.
