Stamford (WTNH) - Two men were arrested after a major drug seizure in Stamford on Thursday.

Eduardo Taveres, 30, of Stamford and Victor Marte, 26, of Bronx, N.Y., were arrested and both face charges of possession of narcotics with intent to sell after 37 kilograms of cocain and $1 million in cash were found in an apartment affiliated with the men.
