135 cautions issued for Class B drug offences
Police won't turn a blind eye to cannabis related crimes, but sending offenders to court isn't always the right step.
That's according the Isle of Man Constabulary's media spokesperson, Inspector Gavin Callow.
One of the most common drugs on the Island, a recent freedom of information request revealed 135 cautions were issued by police for cannabis-related offences since 2014.
Formal notices were also issued in small numbers for possession of class A drugs like LSD, amphetamines, MDMA, and, in one instance, heroin.
Inspector Callow says the force is trying to police drugs in a fairer manner:
Minimum wage increase 'dreadful' for business owners
Last chance for central residents to respond to 20mph consultation
Road to close for 'very large' elm tree to be felled
Peel RNLI renews appeal for new Lifeboat Press Officer
