A 21-year-old British woman has been charged in Germany with trafficking drugs from Thailand.

Cameron Bradford, from Knebworth in Hertfordshire, was arrested at Munich Airport nearly three months ago, on 22 April.

Authorities in Germany said she had been charged with attempted transit of cannabis and abetting the international trafficking of cannabis.

She will appear at a hearing in Munich District Court on 6 August.

Thailand decriminalised cannabis in 2022, when "low strength" weed became legal.

In July 2024, the British government announced a partnership with Thai customs to tackle a "surge" of illegal cannabis shipments to the UK.

Since then, more than 50 British nationals have been arrested in Thailand for attempted cannabis smuggling.
