Work to disrupt drug trafficking continues
Police have seized more cannabis on the Isle of Man in the past five months than they did in the whole of the last financial year.
That's according to the chief constable who says work to disrupt criminal gangs from trafficking drugs to the Island continues.
Gary Roberts believes exploitation of young and vulnerable people – caught up in 'county lines' activity – remains one of the ‘most significant’ issues for officers.
In his annual report he confirmed the ‘wickedness’ of criminal groups remained evident in the 12 months between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022.
Chief Constable Roberts told Manx Radio that work is continuing – through Operation Yarrow – to protect people but they can’t do it alone:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
