A Port Erin man who smoked cannabis at a party on a beach has been jailed for three months after breaking lockdown laws.

24-year-old David Dickinson admitted attending a gathering near the old swimming pool on Spaldrick Beach and possessing the drug last month.

Mr Dickinson has previously been warned by police about breaking the Island's lockdown laws.

He was handed a three month sentence which included two months of a suspended sentence, which were activated following a previous conviction for supplying cannabis.
