A Sackville man and woman who first appeared in Moncton provincial court in June on joint charges of possessing cocaine and methamphetamine for the purpose of trafficking will not plead to charges until November 4.

Colt Leblanc and Cheryl Trenholme are also charged with laundering over $35,000 believed to be obtained in the trafficking of illegal drugs. Their case was adjourned in June so that Trenholme could secure a lawyer, and on Tuesday was adjourned again to allow for disclosure of evidence, according to a report by the Times and Transcript.

The charges against Leblanc and Trenholme stem from a cross border investigation involving the Nova Scotia RCMP, which saw eight people in Sackville, Amherst and Moncton arrested on various drug charges in February.
