Bring drugs to the Isle of Man, and you can expect a stiff jail term.
It’s a message usually promoted by police, but last week a court reaffirmed our tough sentencing policy when it said a cocaine supplier’s sentence wasn’t too harsh simply because he’d have served less time in the UK.
After a lengthy deliberation and review of Isle of Man sentences, the court dismissed Daniel Hamblett’s claim his six-year imprisonment was too long.
Chief Constable Gary Roberts says the message is clear:
Clip 1
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping
In place from 9.30am on Tuesday
Police name victim of fatal road traffic collision in Onchan
Robert Kissack was struck by a vehicle on Whitebridge Road
Island gives new Director of Public Health a warm welcome
Dr Matt Tyrer approaching first 100 days in the position
Sailings to go ahead as planned
Some journeys tomorrow remain at risk
