A Police sergeant searched the car and found three multi-colour bags in the trunk containing five wrapped bulky parcels containing cannabis.
Brown and Sinclair were told of the offence, arrested and cautioned and were both escorted to the Weldaad Police Station along with the Cannabis, which, when weighed, amounted to 37,195 grammes.
The two suspects are in custody, and charges are expected to be laid shortly.
