Two area residents are facing drug-related charges following a traffic stop conducted by the Upper Ottawa Valley detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police.
Police say officers were carrying out a RIDE program in Pembroke on April 3 when a vehicle was stopped on Mackay Street, leading to the arrest of two individuals.
A 31-year-old from Chapeau and a 44-year-old from Pembroke have each been charged with possession of a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act.
Both accused were released from custody and are scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Pembroke on May 4.
