Two Wareham residents were arrested Monday after a drug raid that led to the seizure of heroin, cocaine, pills, cash and $50,000 worth of shoes.

Wareham Police Department detectives executed a search warrant Monday morning, the culmination of a weeks-long investigation into activity at 2 Cranberry Lane in Wareham, where Mario Ogletree, 31, and Christine Quinn, 28, resided on bail related to previous criminal drug charges.

Trained K-9 units from the Barnstable County Sheriff’s Department and the Massachusetts Department of Corrections assisted in locating a large amount of narcotics in Ogletree’s bedroom and approximately $4,500 in cash. Over 38 grams of heroin, five grams of cocaine, Suboxone strips and 40 unidentified pills were recovered in the room, along with related paraphernalia.

Police also seized 260 pairs of sneakers and shoes, mostly new or collector’s items. The shoe collection is valued at approximately $50,000.

Ogletree and Quinn had been arrested in May and charged with trafficking over 300 grams of heroin.

On Monday, they were charged with trafficking heroin over 36 grams, possession of a Class B substance with intent to distribute (cocaine), possession of a Class B substance (Suboxone), possession of a Class C substance (Clonazepam) and possession of a Class E substance with intent to distribute (amphetamine). Ogletree was also charged with resisting arrest. They were scheduled to be arraigned on the charges at Wareham District Court on Tuesday.
