Two people are facing fresh charges after police uncovered an Aladdin's cave of stolen goods worth millions of dollars in Brisbane's south.

Cars, motorbikes, power tools, televisions and jewellery were among the haul of stolen goods estimated to be worth more than $2 million found in storage sheds in Coopers Plains on Friday afternoon.

A 35-year-old man and 22-year-old woman were charged in relation to the find.

But police say they have since charged the pair with a range of drug and weapons charges.

"It will be alleged that during the process of itemising the property police located drugs believed to be amphetamines, money and a handgun," a police statement read.
