A preliminary hearing has been set for two Humboldt residents facing a charge of Possession of a Controlled Substance for the Purpose of Trafficking.

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

During the stop, five pounds of marijuana was seized.

Monday in court their lawyer set November 21st for a date of the hearing that will reveal if there is enough evidence for a trial to proceed.
