The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office arrested two people on drug charges after detectives found nearly a kilo of cocaine in their vehicle Friday afternoon.

After developing information that a package containing cocaine would be delivered to a home in the 2700 block of Jay Place in Sarasota on Friday, detectives began surveillance in the area. Around 2:30 p.m., a suspect was seen exiting a vehicle and running towards the home where the package had been delivered.
