A Douglas man and teenage girl have appeared in court charged with drug dealing and money laundering.

Scott George Cooper of Willaston Crescent appeared before magistrates at Douglas Courthouse alongside a 16 year old girl who can't be identified because of her age.

Both are accused of being unlawfully concerned in supplying drugs, obstructing police and acquiring criminal property, while 19 year old Mr Cooper also faces charges of possessing drugs.

Neither has yet entered any pleas to the allegations.

Both were bailed in the sum of £500 to appear in court again on October 6.
