Police officers yesterday recovered cocaine, some cash and a ‘mobile stun device’ or Taser from an addess in Ramsey.
A 25-year-old man was arrested and detained on suspicion of possession of controlled drugs, money laundering and possession of a prohibited weapon.
He has since been charged and will attend Court on Tuesday.
Detective Constable Doug Ross of the police force’s proactive team said: ‘It is not often that we seize prohibited weapons from people on the Isle of Man.
‘However it is a concern that on this occasion the weapon was seized along with class A drugs and cash.
‘These offences will be taken seriously. We are happy to have removed a potentially harmful weapon from our streets.’
