Thai gangs may be targeting young British backpackers and recruiting them as drug mules, an expert said yesterday.
The warning came after two women were arrested for allegedly carrying large quantities of narcotics from Bangkok airport.
Bella Culley, 18, of Billingham, County Durham, was held at Tbilisi airport, Georgia, on May 11 for allegedly trying to smuggle 14kg of cannabis and hash.
She had left Thailand within hours of former air stewardess Charlotte May Lee, 21, of Coulsdon, south London, who was arrested in Sri Lanka after police said she was carrying cannabis worth £1.15million.
