Two Lakewood men were arrested after police conducted a marijuana raid and found a large amount of money and a stash of firearms, said Lt. Heidi Hoffman of the Lakewood Police Department.

A tip from Crimestoppers led police to two brothers, William Henry and Guy Henry. They were arrested on Friday after Lakewood police served four search warrants in the city, for two businesses and two apartment units.

Police discovered more than 200 marijuana plants, several pounds of marijuana ready to sell and a total of $256,000 between cash and in bank accounts that the brothers had, said Hoffman.
