A sweep of Douglas pubs by uniformed police and a sniffer dog on Friday night resulted in three arrests and one man being subsequently charged for possession.
Members of the licenced trade are keen to spread the word that drugs are not welcome on their premises, and this operation, involving the Douglas CID, Police Dog Section and the Alcohol Unit, was in part a response to public concerns about drug misuse.
Detective Sergeant Jenny McEvoy (pictured) says it's not just a Christmas campaign - the sweeps will continue into the New Year:
"Rapid review" into bed capacity at Noble's Hospital
Still 'very low risk' of meningitis outbreak on Island
MHK 'disappointed but not surprised' over secondary school delay
FoI statistics to be published quarterly to improve transparency
"Red flags" helped mum spot signs of son's brain tumour
