A young female drug mule suspect has been detained and arrested in Germany for allegedly smuggling cannabis from Thailand.
Cameron Bradford, 21, from Knebworth in Hertfordshire was stopped at Munich Airport on April 21 while she tried to collect her luggage.
Sources told The Sun she served a red flag to authorities after changing her flight last minute as she was originally meant to fly via Singapore to London Heathrow.
It is thought Ms Bradford could now face at least four months in a German prison while authorities probe where the drugs came from.
The mum’s arrest is the latest in a series of cases involving suspected young British female drug mules.
Ms Bradford, who has a young son, triggered alarm from her family when she didn’t return home on her Heathrow bound flight as expected.
They filed a missing person report but were alerted the next day to the 21-year-old’s whereabouts in Germany.
Chief prosecutor Anne Leiding of the Munich Public Prosecutor’s Office said: ‘We can confirm that we are conducting proceedings in this matter.

Germany legalised cannabis for recreational use by adults aged 18 and over in 2024 – but did not extend this change to tourists or non-residents.
There are also differing interpretations of the law across all of Germany’s 16 federal states.
And the unauthorised import of cannabis, even for personal use, remains strictly illegal, carrying a five years prison sentence.
