Niagara Regional Police have made another arrest as part of an investigation into Fentanyl sales in Niagara.
Detectives executed a search warrant at a St. Catharines home in the Vansickle Road and Laurie Street area.
When they entered the home they arrested a suspect before continuing the search and discovering a firearm and ammunition.
As a result, 55 year old Francis Anthony Prantera is charged with production, possession of Fentanyl for the purpose of trafficking, trafficking Fentanyl, possession of a firearm without a valid licence, and careless storage.
The arrest is part of an ongoing investigation after officers discovered a home in Niagara Falls was being used for a massive fentanyl pill production operation earlier this month.
