Over the last week Officers from the Pro Active Team, Police Dog Unit and Customs and Excise have been engaged on Operation Ring of Steel. This is joint operation designed to target the importation of controlled drugs to the Isle of Man.
At 6.30am Monday 23rd September 2013, Officers from the Pro Active Team detained two females at a Hotel on Douglas Promenade. Following enquiries and a search of their vehicle, approximately ?108000.00 of Cannabis Resin was seized and what is suspected to be ?62,000.00 of Cocaine. The two females aged 24 and 27 from the Liverpool area are currently at Police Headquarters helping with enquiries.
Detective Sergeant Paul Holland of the Pro Active Team stated “Seizing approximately ?170,000.00 of controlled drugs destined for the Isle of Man is a significant seizure. I would like to thank the Dog Unit and Customs and Excise for their continued support, this highlights the need for the continued partnership work, to remove controlled drugs from the streets of the Isle of Man. This further reinforces the message to these individuals intent on importing and supplying controlled drugs to the Isle of Man that a robust stance will be taken.”
