Senior Detective Alan Rozansky, head of the Sheriff’s Narcotics Unit, said State Supreme Court Justice Timothy J. Drury issued a search warrant for the car, which was stopped on Elm about 12:25 a.m. The drugs had an estimated street value of $15,000, he added.
The arrests came after a monthlong investigation.

Both suspects have been remanded to the Erie County Holding Center pending further court and grand jury action, Rozansky said.
