LDEA Seizes 400 Plates of Compressed Marijuana

Bo Waterside, Grand Cape Mount: In a significant drug bust, the Liberian Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) has confiscated 400 plates of compressed marijuana early on Monday, September 16, at the Bo Waterside Border crossing point between Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The seizure occurred during a routine operation aimed at tackling drug trafficking.

The marijuana was found hidden in a white vehicle attempting to enter Liberia.

The driver of the vehicle reportedly escaped, and authorities have not yet released the suspects’ identities.

An investigation is underway to determine if this operation is part of a broader drug trafficking network.

This operation represents a major victory for the LDEA in its ongoing fight against illegal drug influxes into Liberia.

Bo Waterside, situated at the Cape Mount border with Sierra Leone, has been a notable entry point for drug trafficking.

In response to increasing drug-related incidents nationwide, the government has ramped up its anti-drug efforts.

The LDEA has recently boosted its presence in the region to prevent drug smuggling and protect public safety.

The agency has stressed the importance of continued collaboration with both local and international partners to dismantle trafficking operations and ensure the safety of the Liberian public.

Further details regarding the suspects and the origin of the marijuana have not been disclosed, but the LDEA has promised to keep the public updated as the investigation unfolds.

The 400 plates of marijuana are currently in the custody of the LDEA.
