British teenager reported missing in Thailand is arrested in Georgia

A British teenager who went missing while travelling in Thailand has been arrested in Georgia.

Bella May Culley, 18, was last seen in Pattaya, a city in the east of the south-east Asian country.

But on Tuesday, it was revealed she had been arrested thousands of miles away in the west Asian country of Georgia, in the Caucasus region.

Cleveland Police said authorities in Georgia had told the force she had been arrested there on suspicion of drugs offences and is in custody.

The family of the teenager, who is from Billingham, Co Durham, had earlier appealed to the public for any information about her whereabouts.

Lyanne Kennedy, Ms Culley’s mother, said her daughter had travelled around the Philippines in April before flying to Thailand on May 3.

.

“She was posting loads of pictures and then she went to Thailand on about May 3.

“The last message she sent was to me and that was on on Saturday at 5.30pm saying she was going to FaceTime me later. That was the last message anyone has received from what we can figure out up to now.”

Ms Culley’s father and aunt, Neil and Kerrie Culley, had flown to Thailand to try to find her.

The family of Ms Culley had alerted police in Thailand and Britain about her disappearance.

A spokesman for Cleveland Police said on Tuesday: “We have had confirmation from the authorities in Georgia that an 18-year-old woman from Billingham has been arrested there on suspicion of drugs offences and that she remains in their custody.”
