A pair were arrested following a raid of a north side home.

Thunder Bay Police arrested an 18-year-old from Montreal and a 40-year-old from Thunder Bay after searching the home on Picton Avenue Wednesday afternoon.

Fentanyl, cocaine, paraphernalia consistent with drug trafficking, and a loaded handgun was all secured.

The drugs collected have an estimated street value of $185,000.

Both suspects appeared in bail court on Thursday and were remanded into custody with future appearance dates.
