By Belize Live News Staff: A Special Branch led operation in Independence Village on Thursday ended with a stash of suspected cannabis but no arrests.
Officers from Special Branch and the Mobile Interdiction Unit spent several hours carrying out searches for firearms, ammunition and drugs, targeting known drug peddlers.
A house searched under warrant turned up nothing. But across the street, a detective spotted a green plastic bag tucked beneath dried leaves.
Inside, police found three bags of suspected cannabis weighing a combined 107.58 grams.
With no one claiming the drugs, they were deposited at the Independence Police Station as found property.
Police are continuing operations in the area. Anyone with information on illegal drugs or firearms is asked to contact the Independence Police or Crime Stoppers at 922.
