Police found cocaine, fentanyl in a house

Two women from Fort Erie have been arrested after a drug bust back in April.

Police say they noticed a suspect trafficking drugs at a home on Mississauga Avenue.

Then on April 28th, just before midnight, police arrested the woman in Welland.

Following that, they searched a house, where they arrested a 2nd wanted woman.

Police found cocaine, fentanyl, crystal meth and pills, while also charging 48-year old Laura Pearson and 53-year old Rosario Morin.

Both had bail hearings the next day.
