Niagara Regional Police Charge Patrick Gagnon, 49, of Niagara Falls With Six Counts After a Discarded Glock Handgun Loaded With 15 Rounds Is Seized on Ferry Street and a Starter Revolver Is Seized Inside a Residence in the Lundy’s Lane and Drummond Road Area (October 4, 2026)

The Niagara Regional Police Service says 2 District uniform officers who responded to an unknown 911 call at an address on Ferry Street near Main Street in Niagara Falls on Sunday, June 14, 2026 located and seized a discarded Glock handgun loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition during their search of the surrounding area, and that an investigation they led into the owner of the firearm identified a suspect. The force says that on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 its 2 District Street Crime Unit took carriage of the investigation and obtained judicial authorization to search a residence in the area of Lundy’s Lane and Drummond Road, that the search warrant was executed with assistance from the Emergency Task Unit, that the suspect was arrested within the residence, and that an additional starter revolver and ammunition were seized within it. The release names Patrick Gagnon, 49, of Niagara Falls as charged with six counts, four of which name a firearm or restricted-firearm ammunition, and says he remains in custody and attended a bail hearing on Thursday, October 1, 2026 at the Robert S. K. Welch Courthouse, 59 Church Street, St. Catharines. The release was published on October 4, 2026. Gagnon is presumed innocent, and every allegation here is the force’s. The release does not say which of the six counts attaches to which item, and it does not say what the vehicle or the property behind the two property counts were.

The Unknown 911 Call on Ferry Street

On the release’s account, the file begins on Sunday, June 14, 2026, when 2 District (Niagara Falls/Niagara-on-the-Lake) uniform officers responded to an unknown 911 call at an address on Ferry Street near Main Street. The release says the responding officers were unable to locate anyone in distress in the surrounding area. It says that during their search “a discarded Glock handgun loaded with 15 rounds of ammunition was located and seized,” and that the 2 District uniform officers then led an investigation into the owner of the firearm, which identified a suspect. The release does not say who made the 911 call, does not say where on Ferry Street the handgun was found, and does not say who the identified suspect was.

The 2 District Street Crime Unit and the Search Warrant

The release says that on Wednesday, September 30, 2026 the 2 District Street Crime Unit “took carriage of the investigation and obtained judicial authorization to search a residence in the area of Lundy’s Lane and Drummond Road in Niagara Falls.” That is one residence, in the release’s own words. The search warrant was executed with assistance from the Emergency Task Unit, the release says, and the suspect was arrested within the residence. It adds that an additional starter revolver and ammunition were seized within the residence. The release dates the Street Crime Unit’s authorization to September 30; it does not separately date the execution of the warrant or the arrest. It names Gagnon as the charged man and does not use his name in the sentence about the arrest. It does not say how much ammunition was found with the starter revolver.

The Six Counts

The release lists six counts against Gagnon. Four name a firearm or restricted-firearm ammunition and two concern property. The force does not say which count attaches to which item, and it does not explain the two property counts: it gives no description of the vehicle behind the theft of a motor vehicle count and no description of the property behind the possession of property obtained by crime count, and no value beyond the under-$5000 threshold in the count itself. The wording below is copied from the release.

Patrick Gagnon has been charged and is presumed innocent until proven guilty. He has not pleaded, been tried or been convicted of anything described here, and every allegation above is the Niagara Regional Police Service’s. No gang, club, family, syndicate or cartel label has been used, because the release uses none: it names no organization and this briefing attaches none. Niagara Falls is outside the primary footprint, so the beat qualifier is named here concretely: the release lists four counts that name a firearm or restricted-firearm ammunition, including two counts of possession of a restricted firearm (one with ammunition, one to wit ammunition), and says a Glock handgun loaded with 15 rounds and a starter revolver with ammunition were seized. The release does not say which count attaches to which item. The 2 District Street Crime Unit and the Emergency Task Unit are patrol and tactical support units, not anti-gang or organized-crime units, and are not offered as the qualifier. No publication ban is mentioned in the release.
