Antonia Bettridge, a 26-year-old British personal trainer from St Helens, was detained in Dubai, two years after being convicted in the UK for possessing £8,000 in criminal property found in her car during a 2021 traffic stop on the M62.
She had pleaded guilty in 2023 to the charge, receiving a 12-month community order, 75 hours of unpaid work, rehabilitation requirements, and a £1,200 court cost payment.
Since her release, she lived and worked in Dubai.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it is assisting her and is in contact with UAE authorities, though the specific charges or circumstances behind her current detention remain undisclosed.
