Scottish Influencer Pleads Guilty After 17.7 Kg of Cannabis Found in Luggage

Sentencing now hinges on a social‑work assessment.

Overview

  • Ellie Crampsie pleaded guilty last week at Edinburgh Sheriff Court to taking part in the supply of cannabis.
  • Sentencing was delayed so the court can obtain a Criminal Justice Social Work report and a custody assessment.
  • She remains on bail as the sheriff kept all sentencing options open, including a prison term.
  • Border officers at Edinburgh Airport found 17 vacuum‑sealed packages holding about 17.7 kilograms of cannabis worth up to roughly £150,000.
  • The 23‑year‑old, who runs a beauty business and promotes nightlife events online, had flown from Thailand via Paris when she was stopped and arrested.
