In a bold and relentless move, smugglers have again managed to smuggle several million dollars worth of co***ne to Liberia via another container of frozen food β as was the case in October.
It has been barely four months since a group of high-ticket narcotics traffickers lost their US$100 million consignment of co***ne to the Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency with the help of the United States DEA and a local company.
The drug bust, which took place in early October, was certified as one of the highest value drug consignments arrested on the African continent and made headline news across the world.
It seemed to put narcotics traffickers on notice that Liberia would not tolerate that kind of business. But not for long. In a bold and relentless move, smugglers have again managed to smuggle several million dollars worth of co***ne to Liberia via another container of frozen food β as was the case in October.
However, on January 30, TRH Trading Corporation, the largest importer of frozen foods in Liberia, alerted authorities of the LDEA, the Liberia Seaport Police, the Liberia Maritime Authority and the Port Facility Security Office in Liberia to yet another attempt by drug smugglers to bring narcotics in the country.
According to a statement from TRH, the container seized on Monday is marked MNBU4204747, with products manufactured by the Brazil Frozen Food company (BRF), which supplies frozen goods to its many customers in countries all over the world.
The drugs, seized Monday at the Freeport of Monrovia, were stored in 11 packs, believed to be worth millions of US dollars. The drug seizure on Monday marks the second time in barely four months that TRH Trading has brought to the attention of authorities, attempts by drug smugglers to infiltrate the system in Liberia.
