Police began the investigation in July, monitoring one person

Nine people have been arrested after a drug investigation by police in the Niagara region.

Police say they had been investigating a male suspect since July, and were able to connect him to five other suspects.

Police closed in on five homes in the Niagara region, and last Thursday found guns, cocaine, fentanyl, and other drugs, all worth close to $130,000.

The offenders range in age from 22 to 46 years old, and some were released with future court dates, others had bail hearings in St. Catharines.
