According to a criminal complaint filed in New Jersey Superior Court in Belvidere, the men are accused of agreeing to transport roughly 33 pounds of heroin to New York City, before being intercepted by police in Knowlton Township.
If convicted of the most serious count, the two men, both from the Bronx, could face up to 20 years in prison. They have been sent to Warren County Prison on $300,000 bail set by a New Jersey Superior Court judge.
