Police say the first few days of TT 2018 have been particularly busy for them.

Speaking on Manx Radio TT this morning (Tues), Sergeant Andy Reid says a combination of the good weather, bank holiday and champions league final on TV have led to 18 arrests since Saturday.

And last night they had to deal with a man from West Yorkshire who was on closed roads at Crosby prior to last night's practice session.

This led to a delay in proceedings and Sergeant Reid says the man is now facing charges including hindering the conduct of a race, failing to comply with the requirement of a marshal and being found on a road prohibited by a road closure.

Chief Constable Gary Roberts has taken to Twitter to point out that whilst there have been numerous accidents, figures are on a par with the first few days of the TT period when there is good weather.
