Three local men are to appear in court today after police seized a boat over the weekend.

As previously reported, officers seized a 'significant’ amount of cannabis and a boat on Friday evening.

The Constabulary said: 'On the evening of Friday November 17, a fishing vessel docked at Battery Pier, South Quay in Douglas.

'Two men were detained on board the vessel and one further male was detained waiting in a car nearby.

'Following their detention, a significant amount of cannabis was seized. The three males, all local, were subsequently arrested and have since been charged with serious drug related offences.'

A fourth male was also arrested as part of the wider enquiries and has been released on Police bail.
