STONINGTON, Conn. — Stonington police have seized 50 pounds of marijuana valued at about $450,000 after it was delivered to a vacant home.

The Day of New London reports that police arrested two Worcester, Mass., residents accused of picking up boxes containing plastic bags of marijuana.

Dan Tran and Cindy Huynh were each charged with possession of more than 1 kilogram of marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to sell. Police also seized two cars they used to drive away with the marijuana.

The 40-year-old Tran and 27-year-old Huynh are each being held in lieu of a $250,000 bond and are scheduled to be arraigned in New London Superior Court Monday if they do not post bond.

It was not known Saturday if they are represented by lawyers.
