By Belize Live News Staff: A resident of Vista del Mar, Ladyville, in the Belize District has been charged after police discovered over 23 pounds of cocaine in his vehicle during a traffic stop in Hattieville. The suspect, 43-year-old Dominic Frederick Young, a Belizean car dealer, faces charges of possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply to another, specifically 23.35 pounds of cocaine.
