A 63-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man have been arrested after the RCMP seized more than 1.5 million contraband cigarettes in northeastern New Brunswick.

Police executed a search warrant at a home in Val-Doucet on Wednesday.

Officers seized the contraband cigarettes, as well as nearly eight pounds of marijuana and a large quantity of alcohol and cash from the home during their search.

The man and woman were both released from custody on a promise to appear in court at a later date.
