Police seize fentanyl, cocaine and a gun

More illegal drugs taken off the streets by Niagara regional police.

On Tuesday afternoon, police stopped a car on Victoria Avenue in Niagara Falls.

The driver refused to identify himself, and ran off when told he was under arrest.

While police tried to find him, they also found about $20,000 worth of fentanyl and some money in the car.

The next day, police arrested the suspect leaving a hotel on Centre Street, and eventually found more cocaine, fentanyl, a gun, and two stolen passports.

Police say 27-year old Keshawn Travere Jason Bell of Niagara Falls faces a raft of drug and weapon charges.
