Two arrests after £28,000 heroin seizure

Fri, 19 Aug 2011

Manx police have seized heroin with a street value of £28,000.

Two men have been arrested.

The pair were detained in the Castletown area on Wednesday.

A 35 year old Liverpool man will appear in court tomorrow morning accused of producing the Class A drug to the Island.

A 41 year old local man from the south of the Island is still being questioned.

Police say a seizure of this size is significant and will reduce the potential harm to the Island's population.
