The South Central Drug Investigation Unit and the Faribault County Sheriff’s Office arrested two people after authorities executed a search warrant operation at three addresses.

Two suspects, identified as Scott James Robertson and Jacob Jon Robertson, both of Winnebago, were taken into custody on offenses related to the cultivation of marijuana and currently being held at the Faribault County Jail.

According to a news release, the search warrants were conducted at the following addresses:

• 15/17 Main St., Winnebago
