Investigators from the Bergen County Narcotic Task Force and Paramus police were watching as Jessie Legar, 26 (above, left), and 30-year-old Carlos Sencion-Perez (right) walked back and forth to their car several times before retrieving what turned out to be the cocaine, worth $9,000 o the street, Bergen County Prosecutor John L. Molinelli said tonight.

Both were being held on $100,000 bail each in the Bergen County Jail, charged with possession with the intent to distribute more than five ounces of cocaine.

An arraignment was set for Monday.
