More cocaine has been taken off the streets of Niagara Falls by police.

An investigation began early this year into suspected drug activity, and on April 29th, they arrested a man believed to be involved.

The next day police searched a home on Biggar Road, finding about $26,500 worth of cocaine, some money, and rifle.

They've also charged 61-year old Annette M. Martindale of Niagara Falls with: 

  • Possession of a restricted or prohibited firearm without holding a licence
