A British woman is arrested in Cambodia after authorities find about 34 kilograms of cannabis as she attempts to leave the country. The Daily Mail reports that Tamara Martins, 31, from Croydon, is held while Cambodian legal processes proceed, with prosecutors seeking a long prison term.
The reporting says Martins claims she was “set up.” She alleges she was approached in a bar by a man who asked her to transport a suitcase described as containing electronics, and she denies knowingly carrying drugs. The outlet frames her account as a dispute over intent, contrasting the physical evidence of the seized cannabis with her explanation of how she was recruited.
Across the available sources, the core points remain consistent: Martins is British, the seizure involves a large quantity of cannabis, and she denies involvement beyond being used or misled. The sources do not provide additional independent details such as court rulings, charges filed in Cambodia, or the status of any investigation into who arranged the transport.
