Police seized 44 pounds of cocaine and heroin hidden in a shipment of onions and arrested two California men after pulling over a tractor-trailer in Morris County on Tuesday evening, authorities said.

Vantwuan D. Williams, 44, of Victorville, California and Earl Haggens, 57, of Los Angeles were charged with multiple offenses after cops discovered the drugs and $103,180 in cash, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.

The prosecutor's office said the value of the 22 pounds of heroin and 22 pounds of cocaine is estimated at more than $1 million.

"This seizure literally amounts to removing thousands of potentially lethal doses of poison from our community," Morris County Prosecutor Frederic Knapp said in the statement.

A Netcong police officer pulled over the tractor-trailer following a motor vehicle violation on Main Street, authorities said.

Williams, the driver, gave the officer multiple fake names, authorities said. Police searched the trailer and found the drugs hidden in the onion shipment, authorities said.

In addition to possession and distribution of cocaine and heroin, both Williams and Haggens were charged with financial facilitation of criminal activity. Williams was also charged with hindering apprehension. Both were sent to the Morris County jail.

The Morris County Sheriff's Office and prosecutor's office's narcotics task force joined Netcong police during the investigation.
