Monrovia-The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) Grand Cape Mount County Detachment has arrested two suspects—Joseph Barclay, 26, a Liberian, and David Kalokoh, 23, a Sierra Leonean for trafficking 1 kilogram of Kush at a street value of US$20,000 (LD$3.8 million).
The arrest took place on July 6, 2025, at about 2:30 PM at the Bo Waterside Port of Entry. Officers discovered the drugs concealed in a black Wrangler Jeep, which was being towed due to mechanical issues.
Both suspects have been investigated, charged and forwarded to the Tienii Magisterial Court for trial.
