Undercover officers target Island's licensed premises
Nineteen people from the Isle of Man have been charged with drug offences as part of a police initiative targeting the supply of Class A drugs in the nighttime economy.
Undercover officers targeted those dealing, predominantly in or around licensed premises, between July and November last year.
As a result of ‘Operation Nightjar’, and the covert evidence gathered, they were then arrested - between 30 January and 8 February this year - on suspicion of offences under the Misuse of Drugs Act.
A number of cases are now being taken through the criminal justice system.
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
