Vincent Sims, 24, was caught when postal sorting office staff became suspicious about his inquiries about a parcel on 21 April 2022.[1] The package had been sent by special delivery and was X-rayed by staff before being reported to the police.[1] Two vacuum-sealed packets of cannabis wrapped in brown paper and polka-dot wrapping paper were hidden inside the taped-shut box of a board game.[1] Sims was arrested when he later attempted to collect the parcel from the sorting office in Braddan.[1]

He pleaded guilty to importing the cannabis and attempting to possess it with intent to supply.[1] Deemster Graeme Cook sentenced Sims to 12 months in jail, suspended for 18 months, with a supervision order for the same period.[1] The cannabis had a street value of more than £2,200.[1]
