A Dunkirk resident is facing charges after an investigation into narcotics activity ended with a search warrant being executed last week.
Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Narcotics Investigators had observed Germaine Dias, 49, walking in the area of 515 Main St. in the city.

As a result of the search, investigators seized 28.18 grams of crack cocaine, 5.15 grams of fentanyl, 3.95 grams of cocaine, 74 dosage units of suboxone, scales and packaging material used for the sale and distribution of narcotics and $1,653.
