When she is released from jail, she won't be good-looking anymore. Here is an article about Colombo's women's jail:
https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2011/7/25/sri-lankan-jails-hell-for-women

Drug traffickers should research what jails are like in the countries where they get caught and ask themselves: "Could I stand being jailed in this (hellhole) place for (20) years?"

 

This is what I don't get, like fly into the EU, at least if you are caught you'll get a nice cell, an education and meals etc

From the OP,

 

"Charlotte, once a TUI cabin crew member and now a lash technician"

 

Wha??  A really good dominatrix?!?

 

Oh well, I am sure Sri Lankan prisons are nice.

Should have a whip round for her

One friend shared their shock, noting: “Charlotte was a grafter. None of us saw this coming.”

 

I had to look up "grafter" because it apparently has several meanings.  One of them is "hard working and focused".

 

So, not necessarily related to graft.

 

I wonder if it's coincidence that 46 kg is 2 bags at 50Lb each?

Post that on your Tik Tock Babe..

Something seems off. Both young gals. Both not affected in Thailand. Both done in on their next arrival. How do large amounts get through initially?????????? Has to be impossible in this day and age to have that much go through an Airport. We really need to hear their side of the story.

Yes it's odd. Who really thinks you can get away that even if young and dumb! Unless they were told that customs had been bribed and they were desperate. Or even this is a bag switch by criminal bag handlers and they had no idea. Something more to this

Weed is legal in Thailand! Customs probably spotted it and notified customs in Colombo.

[Colki]

Assuming she had two suitcases at approx 23 kilo each so not excessive (she would pay for). Bags going into the hold of plane go through xrays that are programmed to pick up certain parameters if it does not upset them then the bags go onto luggage belt for loading. Organic matter would not set them off as they are primarily looking for explosive devices. Dogs are not seen often in departure baggage make up areas often.

 

If it did set off xray parameters it is viewed by security staff and they have approx seven seconds to view image of case and to clear or send to a secondary belt that can view image and case and can be swabbed for explosive. These staff again are primarily looking for explosive and same staff that man security screenng sites, not specialists.

Aside from the 'let her rot in jail' predicatable responses here, there are several other more thoughfrul points made already. I'm assuming they are mules and this is not their product.

 

1. This comes on the heals of the young British girl arrested in Georgia (the former Soviet state) carring a suitcase loaded with cannibis. Why young British women? Do they meet other Brit chicks while partying on holidays (e.g. a ring of British girls that target others - and have connections with criminals - in other words, part of a gang.).

2. As someone said, why send via airports - it's so easy to get caught at destination with x-ray and sniffer dogs. It seems the dumbest way to send illegal drugs (unless the travelers are unaware of what they're carrying - see next point)

3. Somone also said maybe bags were switched? This raises a point no one has made - maybe at Bangkok on 'air-side' when the bags go through x-rays here, there is a scam of Thai airport workers (e.g. a shift when they are working together), to choose a suitcase(s) to empty and fill with dope? Then those suitcases are photographed and images/tags sent to someone in these other countries' airports (so there are guys involved at the other end to intercept the bags which never show up on the baggage carousel). For that to work, it would be easiest if it is the same outsourced company doing this work in both Bangkok, Colombo, Georgia, etc.

4. As already said we need to hear their side of the story (2 girls)

5. Yes, Thai x-ray could see what's there and simply infrom receiving airport.

6. Why take such a high risk carrying cannibis? The financial compensation for smuggling that must be tiny in comparison with hard drugs (but the jail time could be similar) 

[madone]

I like her!

[riverhigh]

46 kilograms = 101.43 lbs or in Pattaya human terms that equals one 22 year-old  go-go girl dancer.  Smuggling drugs the size of a small adult boggles my mind. Just saying.

You're assuming the bags themselves weigh zero? The normal 27inch empty checked bag weighs about 6-7lbs.

[madone]

1.5 million, I call bull<deleted>,  i hope she didnt put it in her hoo haa,

I have no moral qualms with marijuana, but who smuggles a high-volume, low value crop into a third country with a tragically low GDP?

especially one that you could grow with the same cash outlay it cost to buy flights?

So the flight left Bangkok and nobody no alarm bells went off that luggage had weed in it interesting TIT

Considering that yesterday there was an article touting the state of the art imaging machines that resulted in the arrest of a man with a large amount of ice. 
 

Seems this one and how many others, slipped through

State of the art indeed. Only the finest tech could detect 22kg worth of methamphetamine in someone's 30kg luggage allowance

No sympathy for either of them. The risks are well known.

Two young lives ruined.

A lack of sympathy, or empathy, is a core characteristic often associated with sociopathy, also known as antisocial personality disorder (ASPD). Sociopaths tend to struggle with feeling or understanding the emotions of others. 

 

Just wondering if this disorder would also include lack of sympathy towards siblings, children....

This is what floors me, who buys excess baggage to smuggle drugs?

 

[Colki]

Lordgrinz she may have had 3 suitcases. Weight is really irrelavent as it was procedure of identifying contents that confused readers.

[howlee101]

Highly doubtful it was her first time. The money is worst than the drug. 🤨

[ChrisKC]

A bit off topic but...

 

How does an Air Hostess become an "ex" at 21?

If she did the crime, and she was a stewardess, she knew what to expect if she got caught. She shouldn't be surprised about what comes next, and none of us should have any sympathy for her actions. Let her enjoy the fruits of her endeavor, I hear Sri Lanka has a wonderful prison system, she will do well.

[madone]

Ok this is weird as fok.

Charlotte May Lee, 21, was arrested by police after stepping off a flight to Bandaranaike International Airport in Sri Lanka from Thailand last Monday. Her two suitcases were said to have been stuffed with 46kg of a synthetic drug known as kush, a highly addictive mix of a number of drugs, chemicals and even human bones.

People don't seem to know that drug-sniffer dogs operate in the luggage area of airports and that bags are x-rayed for organic materials.  The chances of getting arrested are very high nowadays. 

One pays for an extra 23 kg bag, an anathema to economy lite customers.

Why did they stop her at the Airport, she is only a mule, they could have tracked it to the end source, or will that have been embarrassing for the Sri Lankan government

Thailand, hub of dope exports

[giddyup]

Would have thought there would be no shortage of local weed in a place like Sri Lanka.
