ROCKLAND (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) Two people were arrested this week in what Rockland Police are calling the biggest drug bust in their history.

Janis Burns, 34, and Errol Jones, 22, were arrested on Thursday and charged with trafficking and possession with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, and crack cocaine, as well as two counts each of possession of class E drugs and conspiracy to violate the controlled substances act.

Police seized 89 grams of heroin, 29 grams of crack cocaine, nearly 47 grams of powder cocaine, and 1 ½ ounces of marijuana during their arrest. They also seized two guns, bags of pills, and over $2,000 in cash.

Their arrests come after months of investigation into alleged drug activity at 518 North Avenue in Rockland.
