More drugs seized so far in 2023 than entirety of last year
It's been the busiest period for drugs seizures on the Isle of Man according to the chief constable.
Gary Roberts, who's retiring this month, says more drugs have been seized so far in 2023 than in the entirety of last year.
Police have also seen an increase in youths being involved in drug dealing - with 10 processed by officers in 2022.
Mr Roberts says it's a growing issue:
