Officers arrested a 30-year-old man from Lower Sackville, N.S., who was the only person in the vehicle.

Police say officers seized cocaine, methamphetamines and cash during a search of the man.

Around 9:30 p.m. that same day, police executed a search warrant at a property on Quinella Court in Lower Sackville and arrested a 26-year-old woman from the community.

During the search of the home and a vehicle on the property, police say officers seized:

They were held in custody and released on conditions by the court on Wednesday.

Both Sanford and Starratt are scheduled to return to Dartmouth provincial court on July 9 at 9:30 a.m.
