Both remain in custody until their appearance in Napanee court on Thursday and Friday.

A 36 year old Quinte West resident has also been charged with possession of fentanyl and cocaine, and possessions of proceeds obtained by crime under $5,000.

She has been released and appeared in Napanee court on Wednesday.
