Waterford - Town police and the Statewide Narcotics Task Force East Field Office arrested two New London men Tuesday for allegedly attempting to take receipt of a package that contained what police say was 50 pounds of marijuana.

During the course of a joint narcotics investigation, state and local investigators intercepted a suspicious package addressed to a location in the Waterford area. The officers conducted a "controlled delivery" to the address, where they arrested New London residents Joel E. Donahue, 34, of 17 Town Hill Court, and Joseph V. Guerin, 26, of 31 Cutler St.

Donahue was charged with possession of marijuana, conspiracy to possess marijuana, and third-degree burglary. Police charged Guerin with possession of marijuana, conspiracy to possess marijuana and possession of marijuana with intent to sell.

Both are being held on $50,000 non-surety bonds and will be arraigned in New London Superior Court Aug. 25.

Police said an additional arrest is expected in the case, which is still being investigated. A Chrysler Concorde and a Cadillac DeVille were also seized in the operation.
