According to an LDEA statement, the two were arrested on November 7 at about 12:17 p.m. by officers assigned to the agency’s Caldwell Satellite Station.
The agency said officers recovered 60 plates of suspected marijuana weighing approximately 150 kilograms, with an estimated street value of US$15,000, equivalent to LRD2.85 million. The adult suspect was identified as Lucinal Kamarah. The agency did not disclose the identity of her daughter, who is a minor.
Both suspects are undergoing investigation and are expected to be forwarded to court for prosecution under Liberia’s drug laws. The allegations have not yet been tested in court, and both suspects are entitled to due process and the applicable legal safeguards, particularly those governing cases involving minors.
The LDEA said the operation forms part of its efforts to disrupt illicit drug activities and urged members of the public to report suspected drug-related offenses.
