A brother and sister have been arrested after police seized $24million in cash and drugs from a Miami home.

Luis Hernandez-Gonzalez, 44, and Salma Hernandez, 32, were both taken into custody on Wednesday after police found the huge haul of cash in their Florida property.

The money, that was believed to have been made peddling marijuana, was divided into $100 bills and stashed in orange heat-sealed buckets with Home Depot labels.

Miami police have seized a record $24million in cash from a drugs raid. Officers have said it is their biggest bust in history

The money, that was believed to have been made peddling marijuana, was divided into $100 bills and stashed in orange heat-sealed buckets. They were hidden in a secret compartment

Luis Hernandez-Gonzalez, 44, and Salma Hernandez, 32, were both taken into custody after a police found the huge haul of cash

The hidden room - where the drugs, guns and cash were stashed - was guarded by a hallway statuette of St. Lazarus, a Catholic saint popular in Cuba, according to the Miami Herald.

Police say it is their biggest drug bust in history.

They also found marijuana, seeds and $180,000 in cash a safe.

Hernandez-Gonzalez owns The Blossom Experience, a store that sells lights and gardening equipment.

But authorities believe that was a front for his growing drug trade.

Cops believe he was involved in a drug ring that trafficked marijuana to Tennessee. In June, 11 Cuban nationals were arrested in the state for their alleged involvement in the drugs trade.

Hernandez-Gonzalez is being held on more than $10million bond, according to jail records.

He is now facing charges including money laundering, marijuana trafficking and possession of a firearm while committing a felony.

Cops also found machine guns resting on the piles of cash during the massive operation

Prosecutors in Miami released pictures of investigators sorting the buckets as they counted the cash

Gonzalez was held on $12,500 bail for conspiracy and drug-related charges.

Miami-Dade prosecutor Adam Korn said: 'For a man with $20million in his walls, an elevated bond is clearly necessary.'

Hernandez-Gonzalez's attorney Frank Gaviria insists his client runs a legal business.

The DEA are believed to have first began targeting Hernandez-Gonzalez back in 2010.

He was investigated after discussing his marijuana trade with an informant.

On its website, Blossom Experience boats that it is a 'unmatched service and support for their indoor gardening needs.'

In Tennessee, investigators seized more than 300 marijuana plants, at least five guns and more than $140,000 in cash.

Ringleaders Luis Rego, 32, and Pedro Martin, 28, hail from Miami.

Home Depot stickers were seen on the containers that were hidden inside the wall of the home
