A man and a woman are facing drug-related charges in connection with a cocaine trafficking investigation in Nova Scotia’s Lunenburg and Queens counties.

The RCMP conducted a targeted traffic stop in Hebbville on Thursday just before 2 p.m.

Police say the occupants of the vehicle, a 30-year-old woman and 26-year-old man were arrested.

Officers executed a search warrant at a home on Charles Boliver Road in Conquerall Mills later that afternoon.

“A search of the home and of the vehicle led officers to seize a quantity of cocaine, hydromorphone, cash, ammunition and cell phones,” reads a news release from the Nova Scotia RCMP.

The woman and man are both facing charges of possession for the purpose of trafficking and were released on conditions. They are scheduled to appear in Bridgewater provincial court on Aug. 20.
