COPS BUST SIX AT STAMFORD

NIAGARA FALLS -- Niagara Regional Police say they will continue to
crack down on drug use by students to keep the city's high schools
safe.

Six Niagara Falls teenagers were arrested Sept. 21 for trafficking and
using drugs near Stamford Collegiate while under the watchful eye of
Niagara Regional Police. Police were in place Thursday and Friday of
last week to monitor student activities after complaints from the
community. It was during the school's lunch break Friday police said
they observed a number of students distributing and smoking marijuana.

An 18-year-old was arrested and charged with two counts of trafficking
a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled
substance for the purpose of trafficking.

Five other students -- an 18-year-old male, a 19-year-old male and
three 17-year-olds, two females and one male, all from Niagara Falls
- -- were also arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Police said they will continue to investigate criminal activities in
and around schools in order to provide a safe environment for the
students, faculty and members of the public.
