A 33-year-old man from Burscough, in Lancashire, and a 24-year-old man from Walton, Merseyside, were arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply a Class A drug.
The 33-year-old was also arrested on suspicion of drug driving.
They have been taken into custody for questioning.
Chief Inspector Paul Holden, from Merseyside Police's St Helens Community Policing team, said: "We will continue to carry out proactive activity to disrupt those criminals intent on peddling illegal drugs and exploiting vulnerable people in Merseyside.
"We know that drug dealing brings with it threats, violence and intimidation as callous criminals use any means they can to make money from the suffering of others.
"Merseyside Police will not tolerate it, and we will continue stop checking people, stopping cars and carrying out warrants and land searches to bring offenders to justice and remove drugs and ill-gotten cash from circulation.
"If you know of drug dealers operating where you live, please come forward with information and we will take action."
