Niagara police have arrested a St. Catharines man after receiving multiple community complaints about illegal drug activity in the city.

Police executed a search warrant on Wednesday for what they say was a “dwelling unit” in the area of Church and Clark streets.

50-year-old Omar Clarke is charged with possession of cocaine for trafficking purposes and proceeds of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

Police seized 128 g of suspected cocaine, over 25 g of suspected crack cocaine and nearly $24,000.

Clarke had a bail hearing in St. Catharines on Thursday.
