Two Humboldt residents charged with Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking appeared in court for the first time Monday.

58 year-old Randy Sands and 55 year-old Linda Lins were charged in February after the vehicle they were in was stopped by the Humboldt RCMP on Highway 5 just outside the city.

During the stop, five pounds of marijuana was seized.

The pair will return to Humboldt court on May 9th.
