“The operation underscores a growing commitment from the Liberian government to crack down on drug-related criminal activities,” LDEA Bong County Commander Gokor said. The Liberia Drugs Enforcement Agency (LDEA) has arrested a 26-year-old woman with a consignment of narcotic drugs worth US$6K. Helena Sulonteh, who was arrested in Gbarnga, Bong County, was carrying 150 grams of heroin and raw cocaine. “The valuable intelligence helps us to track the activities of this young woman, ultimately leading to her apprehension and the seizure of a significant quantity of unlawful substances,” Joseph Gokor, LDEA Commander in Bong County said. Solunteh's arrest preceded the 54th Legislature’s passage of several amendments to the country’s drug law, making most offenses non-bailable.
