Law enforcement authorities in Belize have made a major drug seizure in the country’s northern Corozal District, pulling 382 pounds of suspected cannabis off the streets following a targeted investigation. The operation, which was guided by actionable intelligence, was executed by members of the Belize Police Department’s Mobile Interdiction Unit on the evening of Tuesday, May 19, 2026, according to Assistant Superintendent Stacy Smith.
Smith detailed that the search operation was centered on the Ramonal Landing area of Patchakan Village, a rural community located close to Belize’s northern border. It was during this systematic search that officers uncovered eight heavy black bags, all of which contained the suspected controlled substance.
Following the seizure, the entire cannabis haul has been formally logged and held as found property by police authorities. As of Thursday, May 20, 2026, no suspects have been taken into custody, and no arrests have been announced in connection with the recovered drugs. Investigations remain ongoing as authorities work to trace the origin of the cannabis and identify individuals linked to the stash.
