Police have charged a man and a woman after allegedly finding drugs in a baby formula tin in their car in the town of Dareton in New South Wales.

Officers pulled over a Nissan utility vehicle on the Silver City Highway north of Dareton around 5.30pm yesterday for a random breath test.  

The driver, a 29-year-old man, was breath tested with a negative result.

Also in the car was another man, a woman and a three-month-old baby girl.

Police conducted a search of the car and found methyl amphetamine, heroin and pills inside a baby formula tin, which was taken in for further forensic testing.

The drugs have an estimated potential street value of over $20,000, police said.

All three adults were arrested and taken to Dareton Police Station.

A 25-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man were both charged with two counts of supplying prohibited drugs and possessing prohibited drugs.

They were both refused bail to appear at Wentworth Local Court today.

The 29-year-old driver of the Nissan was released pending further inquiries.

The baby has been placed in the care of the Department of Family and Community Services.
