Trial for man accused of having drugs sent through post

Mon, 18 Jul 2016

A teenager from Douglas who's been accused of having around £4,700 of cannabis sent to him through the post will stand trial.

18-year-old David Teare appeared at Douglas Courthouse last week where he pleaded not guilty to the seven charges against him.

He denied three counts of being unlawfully concerned in the production of cannabis, along with possession of the drug and three charges of possession with intent to supply.

The charges relate to alleged offences in January and February when three packages were intercepted at the Isle of Man Post Office.

He'll stand trial at the Court of General Gaol Delivery - he's been bailed until his next court appearance on September 6th.
