Bring drugs to the Isle of Man, and you can expect a stiff jail term.
It’s a message usually promoted by police, but last week a court reaffirmed our tough sentencing policy when it said a cocaine supplier’s sentence wasn’t too harsh simply because he’d have served less time in the UK.

Chief Constable Gary Roberts says the message is clear:
