Influencer, Ellie Crampsie, facing jail after attempting to smuggle $290,000 of cannabis through Scotland’s Edinburgh Airport from Thailand

Somebody obviously influenced the influencer which suggest she’s better at being influenced than influencing.

 

An influencer is facing jail after attempting to smuggle $290,000 of cannabis through Scotland’s Edinburgh Airport.

Ellie Crampsie was found to have over 17 kilos of the Class B drug stashed in her luggage as she travelled home from an exotic holiday in Thailand last year.

Crampsie was placed under arrest at the airport and she pleaded guilty to being concerned in the supply of cannabis to others when she appeared at Edinburgh Sheriff Court on Thursday, March 26, The Sun reports.

Crampsie is a well known social media personality and influencer and is prominent in the Glasgow night-life and events scene where she promotes several brands.

The 23-year-old also runs her own beauty business called Brows by Ellie and specialises in styling and treatments.

Prosecutor Emma Laing told the court Crampsie had flown on an Air France flight to the Scottish capital from Thailand via Paris and was stopped by Border Force officers on April 16 last year.

“She was asked the usual questions by the officer and she confirmed she had travelled from Thailand,” Ms Laing said.

“Her luggage was opened and a number of vacuum packages were within.”
