A 21-year-old woman is being held by police in Germany after allegedly travelling with cannabis from Thailand.
Authorities in Germany say Cameron Bradford, from Knebworth in Hertfordshire, was stopped and arrested at Munich Airport on 22 April.
They told BBC Newsbeat she's still in custody there although it's unclear what the next stage of the process will be.
When Newsbeat asked the Foreign Office about Cameron's case, a spokesperson confirmed they're helping a British woman and her family too.
The UK government says Thailand has strict laws against drug use, possession and trafficking and having even small quantities can lead to heavy fines and jail time.
While "low strength" weed has been legal there since 2022, Foreign Office advice, external says there have been cases of British nationals being arrested as they leave the country.
In July last year, the government announced a partnership with Thai Customs to cut down a "surge" of illegal cannabis shipments to the UK since Thailand decriminalised the drug.
Since then, more than 50 British nationals have been arrested in Thailand for attempted cannabis smuggling.
