STAMFORD, Conn.—Two accused drug dealers have each been ordered held on $10 million bond after police seized nearly $1 million in cash and 37 kilos of cocaine at a suspected stash house in Stamford.

Attorneys for Eduardo Tavarez-Dominiquez of Stamford and Victor Marte of New York City say they will seek to have the bond reduced.

Marte's attorney, Mark Sherman, said it was important to remember the men are considered innocent until proven guilty.

Narcotics investigators seized some of the cash and the cocaine, worth $2.6 million, on Thursday after tailing the men to an apartment on Strawberry Hill Avenue.

A Drug Enforcement Administration spokeswoman said the agency had been investigating the men for about six months.
