Niagara Police investigating two unrelated incidents in Niagara Falls

Niagara Regional Police Service (NRPS) posted on X just before 8 p.m. that Centre Street is closed from McGrail Avenue to Ellen Avenue for a police investigation.

Police say the scene involves a large parking lot and that those needing to access their vehicles can go to Centre Street & Ellen Avenue to speak with an officer for further direction.

Police say there is no ongoing risk to public safety.

Shortly after in a seperate post on X police said they are on scene for a second, unrelated investigation in Niagara Falls.

The area surrounding Epworth Circle between Kincaid Place and St. Lawrence Ave is also closed as police investigate.

There is a heavy police presence in both areas and people are asked to find alternate routes.

This is a developing story.
