A Douglas man has been given a four year prison sentence for drugs offences.

23 year old Matthew Pierce McCann admitted possessing cocaine worth over £2000, and possession with intent to supply.

He also had possession of two firearms without a firearms certificate.

His advocate said he was asked to courier drugs, and was threatened if he didn't.

He was given full credit for his early guilty pleas.
