Over $156,000 in illegal drugs have been taken off the streets by Niagara Regional police.

They were looking at drug activity in November in St. Catharines, and that investigation lead them to Hamilton.

Police say they searched an apartment on Friday, in conjunction with Hamilton police, and found suspected fentanyl and cocaine, as well as Canadian and American money.

25-year old Juwan Osei of Hamilton and 49-year old Fernando Manuel Debarros of Kitchener both face a number of drug related offences.

They appeared in bail court Friday in St. Catharines, and remain in custody.
