By Belize Live News Staff: A search of a vacant lot in Orange Walk Town has turned up a stash of suspected hashish, which police have taken into their possession as found property.
The Belize Police Department reports that on Friday, July 3, 2026, at about 6:30 a.m., officers searched an empty lot on Rio Grande Street. During the exercise, police said they discovered a transparent plastic bag containing several pieces of a dark solid substance believed to be hashish, hidden among some bushes.
