Remand for man accused of smuggling £24K of cocaine

34-year-old denies offence

A man charged with trying to smuggle £24,500 worth of cocaine to the Island has been remanded in custody.

Thirty-four-year-old Anthony John Richard Lyons, of no fixed address, appeared at Douglas Courthouse.

He'd previously pleaded not guilty to causing grievous bodily harm with intent and producing and possessing cocaine last year.

There was no application for bail - he'll next appear on 19 April.
