A four-month policing operation has seen 46 people arrested and £219,000 in drugs and cash seized.
Operation Strongbox was in June as part of a bid to stop drugs, weapons and criminal cash from entering the Island since border restrictions relaxed.
The operation saw drugs including Heroin, Cocaine and Cannabis seized at the Sea Terminal and through the Postal/Courier service.
Superintendent Stephen Maddocks of the Isle of Man Constabulary said “Operation Strongbox has been a successful joint operation that set out the aims of what we wanted to achieve when it was launched."
"The Isle of Man Constabulary, together with our partners, look to keep the community and people travelling to the Island safe. I would like to thanks Isle of Man Custom and Excise, the Merseyside North west Regional Crime Unit and Lancashire Constabulary for their assistance with this operation. We will continue to work and prevent criminals from coming to the Island to exploit our way of life or vulnerable people in our community and if they do, we will investigate and deal with any criminality"
