A volunteer discovered a bag outside the store last month, containing packs of cannabis and a large wad of cash.
Police were called and arrived just after two youths walked in looking for their lost bag - and were arrested.
More than 40 grams of cannabis, scales, ziplock bags and nearly 4000-dollars cash was in the bag.
Police say an air pistol, police scanner and more cash were found in a vehicle.
