Police conducted a house search in Lords Bank Village on 3 October 2025.[1] Present at the house were 27-year-old Andre Lewis Belisle, an office assistant, and 21-year-old Monica Olga Bowden, a call centre agent.[1] Police arrested two people in the drug bust in Lords Bank Village.[2] Both were jointly charged with three counts of possession of controlled drugs with intent to supply to another.[2]

Officers found parcels of 1,125 grams, 365 grams and 730 grams of cannabis in different parts of the residence, adding up to 2,220 grams.[2] Officers also found a licensed black Glock pistol with 100 rounds of ammunition and $27,065 in cash, which were sealed and labelled as exhibits while police continued the investigation.[1] Love FM identifies the seized cash as $27,065 in Belize dollars.[3]
