The men, aged 18 and 42, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs after a warrant was executed in Brookside, Telford, on Wednesday morning.
On Thursday morning, police confirmed that the 18-year-old had been released on bail pending further enquiries, while the 42-year-old man had been released.
The warrant was carried out by West Mercia Police's Brookside Safer Neighbourhood Team and the Neighbourhood Crime Fighting Team (NCFT).
During the search, officers found drugs believed to be of class A and B, along with a 12-inch machete.
PC Ash Doignie said: “We know that when there are drugs and weapons on our streets, our communities can feel unsafe and we hope today’s positive result shows that we are taking action and listening to our communities. By taking drugs and weapons off our streets, we hope our communities will feel safer.”
A photograph shared by police after the warrant shows a large machete, scales, two mobile phones and six bags containing what appears to be white powder.
