Five charged in Liberia after more than 200kg of cocaine seized in drug bust

Police in Liberia make a big discovery. They find more than 200 kilograms of cocaine. This is a very large amount of drugs for the country. The police find the drugs at the main airport in Monrovia, the capital city. The drugs are hidden very cleverly. They look like small food cubes, called Maggi seasoning cubes. But inside, it is cocaine.

The police say the drugs are worth a lot of money. It is about $19 million, or £14.2 million. This is one of the biggest drug finds in Liberia's history. The police now say five people are officially charged. This means they are in trouble with the law for bringing the drugs. The police seized the drugs on June 8th.

The shipment of drugs arrived, and the police found it. Later, at a press meeting, the names of the five people were told. The police are working hard to stop bad people from bringing drugs into the country. This discovery helps them in their fight against illegal drugs.
