Concern over level of drug use

The seizure of more than £200,000 worth of drugs on the Island is testament to the work of the police's proactive team

So says Home Affairs Minister Juan Watterson.

There were 15 arrests at the Island’s ports for drug-related matters during 2015, with substantial amounts of cash being recovered.

The Manx force has been working closely with Merseyside Police and other key partners to try to prevent illicit substances entering the Island from the UK

The Chief Constable has said that stopping the ‘evil trade in Class A drugs’ remains one of his main priorities.

Minister Watterson says we should all be concerned about the level of hard drug use on the Island
