Niagara police have taken close to $900,000 in drugs off the streets with the arrest of two people from Welland.

They say they used a search warrant on March 30th, at a house in the Quaker Road and Goodwillie Drive area of Welland.

Police found $708,000 in fentanyl, over $130,000 in cocaine, and $7,870 worth of crystal meth.

Police also found two loaded guns, and $160,000 cash.

34-year old Jonathan Mesrob Zadikian faces a raft of drug and weapon charges, and remains in custody.

24-year old Desiree Nicole Stewart faces similar charges, and was released with a future court date.
