Monrovia, Liberia — The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) Satellite Station in Caldwell, Louisiana, has confiscated a large consignment of marijuana mixed with peanuts from a 26-year-old female resident, Dorothy Magee.
The mixed substances, which contained eggnut, were seized during a routine patrol conducted by LDEA agents. The confiscated drugs are valued at over L$127,000. This marks the second major confiscation in the Caldwell community in less than two weeks.
Suspect Magee is currently under investigation and will be processed for court in accordance with Liberian law, a statement from LDEA stated.
In a related development, the LDEA has also apprehended a 23-year-old Liberian, Justine Roberts, at Bo-Waterside. Roberts was arrested after 1,374 strips of Tramadol were discovered concealed in a blue Nissan Amaria bearing Liberian license plate number A12542. The seized drugs are estimated to be worth more than L$2 million.
Suspect Roberts is undergoing investigation and will likewise be forwarded to court for prosecution.
The LDEA continues to encourage citizens to share credible information that can aid in the agency’s ongoing efforts to combat the proliferation of illicit drugs across Liberia.
