A 25-year-old man is now facing a list of charges after he was arrested in St. Catharines.

The NRP was investigating the sale of cocaine from a home in the Linwell Road and Weiden Street area.

The man was arrested earlier today after officers seized $7,365 worth of powder cocaine and crack cocaine, $15,840 cash and a BMW.

They also found a loaded 40 calibre handgun with extra ammunition.

Some of the charges include possession of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking, unauthorized possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of the proceeds of crime over $5,000.
