A child from Castletown has been bailed as he faces drugs charges.

The 16-year-old boy, who can’t be identified because of his age, appeared before High Bailiff Jayne Hughes at Douglas Courthouse.

He’s charged with possessing cannabis, possessing it with intent to supply it, possessing criminal property, obtaining services without payment, and supplying cannabis between April and September this year.

No pleas have yet been entered, and Mrs Hughes bailed him in the sum of £100 on condition he observes a 10pm to 7am curfew.

He’ll appear in court again on November 24.
