Crime British Teen Thought Missing in Thailand Found Arrested in Georgia
Picture courtesy of Facebook In a twist that took everyone by surprise, Bella May Culley, a teenager from Billingham, County Durham, and once believed missing in Thailand, has surfaced 4,000 miles away, facing severe drug charges in Georgia. The 18-year-old was apprehended at Tbilisi International Airport with an alleged massive haul of cannabis, raising concerns for her family who had been anxiously searching for her in Asia. Bella, a former Middlesbrough College student who had just completed a nursing course, is accused by Georgian authorities of attempting to smuggle 14kg of cannabis along with quantities of hashish into the country. Caught with 34 sealed packs of marijuana during a scanner check, her arrest has shocked both her loved ones and those following the case. The charges are grave, with the Georgian Interior Ministry stating the crime warrants up to 20 years or even life imprisonment. Bella was denied bail by a judge, who deemed her a flight risk. This development has devastated her family, who had been last in touch with her on May 3, when she was believed to be in Thailand. Her mother, Lyanne Kennedy, detailed Bella's journey, explaining that the teen had been travelling in the Philippines before heading to Thailand. Kennedy described receiving a message from Bella, promising a later Facetime call that never materialised. "I just want her home and safe or to hear her gorgeous little voice," Kennedy lamented, recalling her initial reluctance to let Bella travel. Back in England, the family, shocked by the news from Georgia, had initially believed Bella’s disappearance was a flight back to the UK gone awry. Her father, Neil Culley, and aunt, Kerrie, had even travelled to Thailand, joining the frantic search. As efforts to locate Bella prior to her arrest intensified, her phone being switched off around Pattaya complicated matters for family and Thai authorities alike. Bella’s father had tried piecing together her movements, which led to contacting Thai immigration officials and exhausting other avenues without any leads until the Georgian arrest came to light. Moreover, her supposed plans to surprise her family by flying home never materialised as expected, heightening their angst. With Bella now facing a daunting legal battle in Georgia and the prospect of a long prison sentence, her family is left grappling with disbelief and fear. This unexpected turn has transformed what was hoped to be a reunion into a distressing international ordeal, leaving her loved ones to navigate the complexities of supporting Bella from afar in a foreign legal system.
