Two senior citizens are facing drug charges in Monroe County.

Elizabeth Grube, 70, and her sister, Elaine Volkert, 65, were arrested Tuesday.

According to court papers police found more than 1,000 bags of heroin and cash in both the women's homes on Ehler Street near Stroudsburg. Both are charged with possession with intent to deliver.

"People who you would never think, if you saw these ladies in the grocery market you would never in your wildest imagination believe them to be accused, which is all they are now, accused of being major heroin dealers in the County of Monroe," said District Attorney David Christine.

Julio Checo, 28, of Allentown was also arrested. Police said he was supplying the two women with the heroin.
