A drug investigation in Niagara Falls has resulted in the arrest of two people, the seizure of drugs and a prohibited weapon.

Niagara Regional Police say the investigation began earlier this year and resulted in the arrests of a 23-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman on Thursday.

Police say a search warrant was executed at a home in the city, where cocaine, Xanax, trafficking paraphernalia, cash and a sawed down rifle was seized — worth almost $40,000.

The accused are now facing several drugs and weapons charges.
