Three people are facing drug and weapons charges following a major drug trafficking investigation in Niagara.

Niagara police say 32-year-old Levele Willis of Niagara Falls, 32-year-old Tyler West, and 34-year-old Ricardo King Kalloo of Welland were arrested Tuesday on North Service Road in Vineland.

Searches of a vehicle and a home on Haynes Court in Niagara-on-the-Lake turned up nearly three kilograms of suspected fentanyl, more than 500 grams of suspected cocaine, a loaded Glock handgun and just over $4000 in cash. 

Police estimate the drugs have a combined street value of more than $343,000.

All three are charged with multiple offences, including drug trafficking and firearms offences. 

King Kalloo faces additional charges of possessing drugs for the purpose of trafficking.
