A 35-year-old man is being quizzed by Police on suspicion of drug dealing after officers discovered a quantity of drugs and cash in his van following a collision in Lake.
Police were called to reports of a collision between a van and a moped on Newport Road at 19:45 yesterday evening (Monday).
A search of the van soon uncovered drugs including cannabis and clenbuterol, alongside a large quantity of cash. A hatchet – considered an offensive weapon – was also found within the vehicle.
The driver, a 35-year-old man from Shankin, was arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of Class B drugs, possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and possession of criminal property.
He remains in custody at Newport Police Station.
Thankfully, no one was injured in the collision.
More scum dealing drugs. Where the hell have all these drug dealers come from. Get a job and make a decent, legal living. The island doesn’t welcome these types.
They do it because they can get away with it , he’ll get hardly any punishment if any at all ,then do it all again. They don’t need a job as we’re paying them a wage in their benefits, hence why the whole world is landing on our shores, this country is a laughing stock!
The island residents don’t but the council do.
We may not welcome them but we seem to be buying their wares or they would not be in business. The solution lies in our own hands – educating our kids and setting examples.
Sadly many islanders are too blame.
It’s not only overners.
He does have a job, it’s a sign written van,Still I know what you mean.
If there is a demand there will be suppliers.
A typical Islander in 2022
Full of Tatts and Vapes
I’m an islander and have tats and vape. I also have a full time job and don’t sell drugs so what’s your point?
I don’t condone drug dealing but Being the drugs were found in a van I’m guessing he has/had a job. Most people do it on the side because it’s such a struggle to live on island wages
Sadly The Island stinks of drugs everywhere
Most roads, it’s rife.
Sunshine.You will find that he is home grown scum.Just like all the drug dealers ,Pedofiles etc that live and inbreed here on the island.
Simple, should be death penalty for drug dealers, only getting what they deserve, we are far far too soft on ‘people’ like this.
So you want to kill all doctors, GP’s etc.
They give people drugs and some of them are worse than the ones you can get off the street.
Blame the housing associations they bought them over to fill there units
Why are you here then.. Probably home grown scum like the rest of your lot.
There are drug dealers in every town in England over here it gets blown out of proportion there are bad people everywhere not just here and there alway will be

Has the man been charged with anything? NO
