CAROLINA BEACH—Undercover officers and detectives with the Carolina Beach Police Department arrested two Wilmington men Wednesday.

Officers seized 16 grams of methamphetamine, 22 grams of marijuana and two semi-automatic pistols; as both Head and Craft are convicted felons, neither are permitted to possess firearms.
