💨 Abstract

An American woman, Chelsea Blanton, was sentenced to 17 months in prison for attempting to smuggle 28 kilos of cannabis worth £80,000 into Manchester Airport. Blanton, a mother of one, was lured by an offer of $8,500 for the drug haul. She had traveled from Texas to Saudi Arabia and then to Malaysia before arriving in Manchester via Heathrow.
