Airport on April 22 while collecting her luggage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Investigators were alerted to Ms Bradford after she switched her flights at the last minute, with her originally being due to fly to London Heathrow via Singapore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Following her arrest, her family filed a missing persons report, concerned she had not arrived back in the UK.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph-text\">Ms Bradford, who has a young son, was being held in custody before being charged with attempted transit of cannabis and abetting the international trafficking of
