Two 17-year-old teenagers from Cardiff, Wales, have been arrested in Thailand. The arrests have prompted an investigation by South Wales Police into the circumstances of their trip. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has confirmed it is supporting the two British nationals and is in contact with Thai authorities.
South Wales Police stated they have limited information regarding the incident but are working to gather as much detail as possible. "We understand this is a very concerning time for the families and wider community," the force said in a statement. Thai police officers were involved in the situation.
The FCDO is actively engaged with the local authorities in Thailand to address the matter.
