MORRIS COUNTY – Thirty-seven pounds of marijuana and cocaine were seized in a large gun and drug probe that resulted in two arrests, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office announced on Thursday.

The long-term drug investigation in Morris, Sussex and Bergen Counties ended on Wednesday when law enforcement officers from multiple agencies executed three search warrants in Sparta, Cliffside Park and Parsippany, prosecutors said.

The search warrants resulted in the seizure of approximately 350 grams of cocaine, 37 pounds of marijuana, numerous firearms and more than $300,000 in suspected drug distribution money, the MCPO said.
