Two women charged with possession of cannabis and intent to supply the drug are due to appear at Carlisle Crown Court.

They were arrested yesterday after police stopped their vehicle on the M6, near Carlisle, and seized cannabis resin and £1,000 cash.

Wendy Prince, 55, of Oyster Lane, Byfleet, Surrey, and Joanne Penfold, 48, of Arnewood Close, Leatherhead, Surrey, appeared at the magistrates' court in Carlisle today.

They were remanded in custody and are due before the crown court on April 3.
