Brit Teen's Thailand Holiday Ends in Georgian Drug Smuggling Arrest

A British teenager's unexpected arrest in Georgia for drug smuggling has sent shockwaves through her family. Bella May Cullly, 18, disappeared during a holiday in Thailand, only to reappear in handcuffs in a Georgian court. She is accused of smuggling 34 bags of marijuana and faces a possible life sentence. Her mother, Leanne Kennedy, told The Sun that Bella had given her father an itinerary showing she would be back in Manchester on Saturday. "We're really concerned. This is completely out of character," Kennedy said. The incident highlights the dangers of international travel and the severity of drug laws in Georgia. The Georgian Interior Ministry stated that Bella has been denied bail due to the flight risk. This case underscores the unpredictable nature of international travel and the far-reaching consequences of drug-related crimes.
