An early morning visit by police resulted in arrests on felony weapons and drug charges for a Mastic couple on Friday, Suffolk County police said.

Seventh Squad detectives arrested Ian Dunn and Kayla Caruso, both 18-year-old, of 14 Meadowmere Ave., after executing a search warrant at their Mastic home early Friday morning. According to detectives, during the search of the home, officers recovered a substantial amount of drugs and a .38 caliber revolver.

It was 12:39 a.m., when officers served the search warrant on the couple, cops said. Once inside, officers found heroin, Oxycodone pills, cocaine, and over $8,000 cash, a police news release said. It was not immediately clear what sparked officers to obtain a warrant.
