Two men were charged after police searched their home on Saturday in north suburban Evanston and found marijuana and crack cocaine.

About 8:15 a.m. Saturday, officers executed a search warrant at a home in the 2600 block of Central Street, according to Evanston police.

Officers found about 2,300 grams of marijuana, 40 grams of crack cocaine and $4,000 in cash, police said.
