The Liberia Drug Enforcement Agency (LDEA) has arrested a 46-year-old Creem Abess Brown for allegedly possessing 45 kilograms of compressed marijuana valued at LRD 649,800 (about USD 3,420).

The arrest took place on September 17, 2025, at about 6:00 a.m. in the Rock Cruiser Community, Duazon, along the route to Roberts International Airport.
