A Douglas man has admitted possessing cannabis with intent to supply.

Andrew Richard Hickling was arrested on April 1 after police found 332.6 grams of the class B drug at his home, at Falcon Street.

It was valued by police at £6,652.

Prosecuting advocate Kathryn Johnson submitted that the case was too serious for summary court and should be sent to the Court of General Gaol Delivery for sentencing.

Thirty-year-old Hickling was represented in court by advocate Jim Travers, who agreed that the case should be committed, and said a basis of plea would be submitted before sentencing, setting out how much of the drug was for his client’s personal use only.

Bail was granted in the sum of £500.
