LA VERGNE, Tenn. (WKRN) -- While patrolling in La Vergne, law enforcement reportedly noticed some "late-night suspicious activity," which led to the seizure of drugs and two arrests.

According to the La Vergne Police Department, shortly before 1:45 a.m. on Thursday, April 17, officers patrolling near a closed business on Waldron Road spotted a man riding a scooter behind a building. When authorities stopped to check on him, he mentioned there were other people behind the business.

The officers found a parked vehicle with two individuals inside who appeared to be asleep, officials said. Out of concern for their welfare, police approached the car and observed what looked like illegal drugs in plain view through the window.

When the female passenger saw the officers, she allegedly tried to hide the suspected drugs under some clothing. Both individuals -- described by authorities as a male with multiple violent felony warrants out of Smyrna, as well as a female with an extensive history involving drug and weapon offenses -- were removed from the vehicle and detained.

Police said they discovered suspected cocaine, syringes, glass pipes, drug packaging materials, a digital scale, and a pink powder believed to be fentanyl while searching the vehicle. All items were seized as evidence.

Both suspects were taken into custody without incident, but officials did not mention their identities or the charges they're facing.

"We commend our officers for their vigilance, professionalism, and swift response," La Vergne law enforcement wrote on social media. "The La Vergne Police Department remains committed to protecting our community and removing dangerous substances from our streets."

If you see suspicious activity, you're urged to call the La Vergne Police Department at 615-793-7744.
