Two in court over teens' Thailand drug courier case
Two teenagers were allegedly caught carrying 64kg (141lb) of cannabis "concealed within their suitcases"
Two people accused of trafficking teenagers to Thailand as part of an international drug ring have appeared in court.
Tremaine Jeanne and Jessica Sani, both 28, are charged with drug offences and conspiring to arrange the travel of another with a view to exploitation.
It is alleged they used two 17-year-olds as drug couriers after they were caught with 64kg (141lb) of cannabis in their suitcases while travelling back to the UK.
The teenagers from Cardiff, were arrested in Thailand in June and remain in custody. They are being supported by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
Four other people appeared at Cardiff Magistrates' Court last Friday in connection with the case.
A 23-year-old man from Keighley, West Yorkshire, who was also arrested on suspicion of improper importation of controlled drugs, has been bailed.
Jeanne, from Llanrumney, and Sani, from Newport, are both charged with conspiring to fraudulently evade a prohibition on the importation of a Class B drug and four counts of conspiring to arrange or facilitate the travel of another person with a view to exploitation.
They appeared via video link and spoke only to confirm their names, dates of birth and addresses. They were not asked to enter pleas.
Jeanne and Sani were remanded in custody and will next appear with their co-accused at Cardiff Crown Court on 4 September.
