A 40-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man were both arrested at a home in Newcastle Creek on the morning of June 21.
Police seized eight guns, four of which are prohibited, and drug trafficking paraphernalia, the statement says.
Officers also found pills containing fentanyl, as well as methamphetamines and cocaine in various forms.
