Police in Labrador have seized drug paraphernalia, marijuana and other goods, including cash that had been tucked into nesting dolls featuring Pokemon characters.

RCMP officers in Happy Valley-Goose Bay used a warrant to search a home on Wednesday.

The raid netted two ounces of marijuana and police say trafficking-related charges are pending against two men who were arrested at the home.

Police said they seized weapons during the bust, as well as an undisclosed amount of cash, cellphones and items police said are used in the drug trade. Some of the money was kept in nesting dolls, while cash was also found in a more conventional billfold.
