Roughly $100,000 worth of cannabis has been found by police after two New Brunswick men were stopped near Atikokan.

The 41-year-old from Fredericton and 52-year-old from Woodstock were arrested Sunday afternoon after being stopped at a RIDE check on Highway 11.

Police say they found more than 22 kilograms, or about 50 pounds of cannabis, and thousands of dollars in Canadian currency and several thousand Euros in the vehicle.

The men will appear in Fort Frances court Thursday.
