The two were part of a group that were taken in for questioning after a raid at Namadi Heights.
One of the men has been charged with an extra count of bribery for allegedly trying to offer a police officer a bribe of $5,000.
Five people were questioned at the Nabua Police Station after they were found trading white substances believed to be Methamphetamine at Namadi Heights on Friday.
