The relationship between the occupants — Franklin Delacruz and Jose Tremillo-Carnillo, both 45 and of the Bronx — “has not been determined yet,” said NJSP Trooper Christopher Kay.

Both are being held on $500,000 cash bail in the Bergen County Jail on charges of money laundering and conspiracy, records show.

Federal immigration detainers have been issued on both Dominican nationals.
