Authorities became suspicious of Cameron when she changed her flight to into London Heathrow via Singapore at the last minute - flying to Munich instead.
She has been charged with attempted transit of cannabis and abetting the international trafficking of cannabis, authorities said.
A family friend said Cameron had travelled to Thailand on her own and posted a photo of the ocean on her Facebook account just days before her arrest.
She could be held for at least four months in a German prison while authorities investigate the origins of the cannabis, sources say.

When Cameron, who has a young son, didn't return home on her Heathrow bound flight as expected, her family filed a missing persons report.
But the next day the family was alerted to her whereabouts in Germany.
Chief prosecutor Anne Leiding of the Munich Public Prosecutor's Office said: 'We can confirm that we are conducting proceedings in this matter.
'The defendant is still in custody.'
A hearing will take place in Munich District Court on 6 August.

The prosecution is refusing to discuss the charges or even give a trial date, citing the ongoing investigation.
A Foreign Office spokesperson said: "We are supporting a British woman who is detained in Germany and are in contact with her family and the local authorities."
In 2024, Germany legalised cannabis for recreational use by adults aged 18 and over.
But despite a raft of publicity around the law change two essential points were missed.
The law does not extend to tourists or non-residents, including Brits.
It's also interpreted differently across all of Germany's 16 federal states.
And crucially the unauthorised import of cannabis, even for personal use, is strictly illegal and carries a hefty five years in prison.
SPATE OF DRUG ARRESTS
It comes after a British couple claiming to be tourists from Thailand were busted with more than 33kg of cannabis in their suitcases at a Spanish airport.
The pair were picked out by suspicious cops at Valencia Airport after displaying a 'nervous and evasive attitude' and are now behind bars on drug trafficking charges.

The man and woman, aged 33 and 34, were stopped before reaching customs, with officials later discovering vacuum-packed marijuana and no clothes or personal belongings in their luggage.
Cops said the pair will not yet be named but were arrested late on May 5 and hauled to court the next day.
Their court appearance, which led to their remand in prison, took place behind-closed-doors as is normal in Spain where only trials are held in public.
The two British nationals are not expected to find out for several months now whether they will be formally indicted and face trial.
A British OnlyFans model was also caught allegedly smuggling nearly £200,000 worth of Thai cannabis into Spain.
Glamorous Clara Wilson, from Huthwaite, Notts, has been charged with a drug running offence after more than 34 kilos of cannabis was found stuffed in her two suitcases.
Elsewhere, Brit Bella May Culley, 18, sparked a massive international search operation in early May after she was reported missing while holidaying in Thailand.
However, it was later revealed that the teen, from Billingham, County Durham, had been arrested 4,000 miles away on drug offences in Georgia.
She was allegedly carrying 30 pounds (14kg) of cannabis into the ex-Soviet nation.
Around the same time, 21-year-old Charlotte Lee May, from Coulsdon, south London, was also arrested in the Sri Lankan capital Colombo after police discovered 46 kg of 'Kush' - a synthetic strain of cannabis - in her suitcase.
The former flight attendant, facing up to 25 years in prison if convicted, is claiming she had 'no idea' about the drugs worth up to £1.2 million and insisted they must have been planted in her luggage without her knowledge.

Moment cops smash ‘mail order drugs gang' in dramatic dawn raid as scale of cannabis being imported to UK laid bare
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE loud scream of an electric saw cutting through a door is followed by an almighty bang and shouts of: 'Police – stay where you are.' It's 5.30am, and six cops clad in full body armour burst in as neighbours peer through their blinds to see what is going on. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Greater Manchester Police conducted dawn raids on multiple address to arrest drug dealers from organised crime gangs Credit: Andy Kelvin / Kelvinmedia 5 The crooks are each facing up to 14 years in custody if found guilty of conspiracy to import a controlled drug Credit: Andy Kelvin / Kelvinmedia This house is one of ten being raided by Greater Manchester Police, as they attempt to take out an alleged organised crime group that has imported Class B drugs through the post. A delivery service worker is believed to have been helping crooks ensure their contraband makes it to the correct addresses in a timely manner. But the gang's attempts have been thwarted, and eight alleged members have been arrested. The crooks are each facing up to 14 years in custody if found guilty of conspiracy to import a controlled drug, and an extra 14 years should they be convicted of conspiracy to supply a class B drug. At least 27kg of cannabis with a street value of up to £1.5million has been posted to Irlam in Salford, Gtr Manchester, since cops started looking into the criminal network months ago. The illicit parcels are believed to have come from Thailand, Canada and the US, where cannabis cultivation and use is primarily legal. Months of intelligence and hard work has culminated in 75 officers carrying out dawn raids for Operation Traun. It falls under the force's long-running Operation Concept tackling 'fast parcels' — illegal packages brought into the UK via postal systems — across Gtr Manchester. Senior investigating officer detective inspector Rebecca McGuigan, told The Sun: 'The most important thing for us is to stem the flow of drugs into this area and keep the community safe. 'No free lunch' 'This operation demonstrates our commitment to tackling organised crime and protecting our communities from harm. We will continue to stop organised crime groups. Two friends have been sentenced to 24-and-a-half years in prison for their plot to pick up a haul of cocaine 'We will continue to pursue those who seek to profit from this type of criminality.' A fast parcel can be as large as a pallet. The packages can contain a multitude of illegal items, from firearms and counterfeit goods through to Class A drugs such as cocaine and heroin. In one of the houses targeted by police yesterday, officers found a cannabis farm, which shows that the gang is diversifying its sources of the plant. Since cannabis was decriminalised in Thailand in 2022, Border Force staff and police across the UK have seen a rise in the amount of cannabis arriving here via the post. Serious and Organised Crime detective chief inspector Tim Berry told The Sun: 'There are a number of issues with cannabis. 'One, and it's something that people need to remember, is that it is still illegal to possess and sell cannabis in the UK. 5 Months of intelligence and hard work has culminated in 75 officers carrying out dawn raids for Operation Traun Credit: Andy Kelvin / Kelvinmedia 5 In one of the houses targeted by police yesterday, officers found a cannabis farm, pictured another man being taken in by police Credit: Andy Kelvin / Kelvinmedia 'Two, it's also illegal to import it. I think a lot of people don't realise that when you bring drugs into a country, you're committing a specific offence of importation, which is more serious than standard offences such as possession. 'In parts of the US, Canada and now Thailand, it's legal to purchase cannabis and, as a result, it has become significantly easier for people to remotely buy cannabis from these countries then ship it here. 'What we are most concerned about is people who are bringing drugs in by the fast parcel system for profit to supply, to sell, or are linked to an organised crime group. That's what we are most focused on. 'But that doesn't mean we won't look at people who have been having regular deliveries to their house for personal use and respond proportionately.' Many online 'designer' cannabis stores allow users to purchase and then ship the product to the UK. I want people to be smart. If someone asks to have a package delivered to yours in return for payment, don't do it DCI Tim Berry Suppliers in Thailand sell the drug at a cheap price, meaning shipments from the East Asian country now outstrip those from America and Canada. For organised crime groups, importing the plant in bulk from Thailand has become the go-to method — and they will even pay regular households to receive the posted packages for them. DCI Tim added: 'I want people to be smart. If someone asks to have a package delivered to your home in return for payment, don't do it. 'If you do, you open yourself up to being caught in a police investigation. 'Remember, there's no such thing as a free meal.' A spokesman for drugs charity Hope UK said: 'We appreciate that police forces have many challenges, and cannabis importation is probably low on their list. Drug trafficking is a major source of revenue for organised crime groups, many of which are involved in other forms of serious crime Fleur Brown from the charity Crimestoppers 'However, for many people, cannabis is the first illegal drug they come into contact with, and this contact can lead to opportunities to access other illegal substances. 'We are therefore grateful that Greater Manchester Police are taking this seriously and hope that other forces are doing the same.' Fleur Brown from the charity Crimestoppers said: 'Drug trafficking is a major source of revenue for organised crime groups, many of which are involved in other forms of serious crime. 'It directly leads to increased violent crime and the exploitation of children and vulnerable adults by criminals. 'We can all play a part in looking out for and reporting signs of drug activity in our community. 'We are appealing to the public to speak up to our charity, 100 per cent anonymously, about who is ordering illegal drugs into the country, how the purchasing is carried out, and whose properties are being used for delivery.'

XL Bully owner stabbed dog as it attacked gran and left boy, 8, covered in blood
WARNING - GRAPHIC IMAGES: Caio Shaw had been excited to go to a birthday party but an XL Bully which was caged in the living room somehow got loose and attacked him An XL Bully owner stabbed his own dog twice after it bit an eight-year-old boy's right thumb off and savaged a grandma. Ian Parry, 45, of North Penrally, Caernarfon, Gwynedd, admitted to owning a dog dangerously out of control which caused injury on August 11 and was jailed for 26 months today. Caio Shaw declared in an impact statement read by his mother at Caernarfon crown court: "I thought I was going to die. I still get bad dreams about what happened. I have scars all over my body." Prosecutor Richard Edwards said the youngster was excited to be going to a birthday party. His mum Ffion Williams, 38, a carer, took him to Parry's nearby home. It comes after a shark attack horror as boy, 7, had his leg shredded in an idyllic bay. "Ms Williams didn't know there was an XL Bully dog at the address," counsel said. The dog had been in a cage in the living room. Parry later told police a child may have opened the cage. Mr Edwards said as Caio and a friend were preparing to go to the party, gran Yvette Hodgson saw the dog "focussed" on Caio outside the home. It leapt towards Caio's face. Both the gran and boy fell to the floor and she tried to shield the youngster, but there was a "crunching" sound from his hand. Parry got a knife from the house and stabbed the dog in the chest. But the pet bit Mrs Hodgson's forehead before it was stabbed a second time. The schoolboy was left covered in blood. He was taken to hospital at Bangor and then, due to the severity of his injuries, transferred 90 miles to Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool. Mr Edwards said: "Police found, despite the two stab wounds, the dog was still alive. The decision was made to dispatch the dog with a single shot to the head." Caio had a catalogue of wounds including to the ear, shoulder, face and arm and was seen by a plastic surgery team. The dog was about 10 months old and bought for £1,000 on Facebook, according to Parry. In an emotional impact statement, Caio's mother told the judge her son had been "adventurous and boisterous." She said: "I had absolutely no idea the dog was in the house. If I had known there had been an XL Bully at the address I would never have let Caio go in. They have a bad reputation." She described seeing his ear was torn and thumb had gone. "He was asking me 'why me, why me, I didn't do anything wrong'." Ms Williams said. "Caio could have been killed that day. I think about what could have happened." Her son suffered nightmares and had a nickname at school which "triggers" him. The prosecutor added that Parry had 33 offences on his record including for violence and drug matters. Defence barrister Simon Killeen said Parry had a wife and four children and had "absolutely genuine remorse." Mr Killeen said the dog required an exemption certificate to keep it. Parry used an online system but didn't check payment had been made for it. Judge Nicola Jones said the dog didn't wear a harness or collar when it left the cage. She said serious injury was caused to the boy, with partial amputation of the thumb, and to Yvette Hodgson. "It was an XL Bully, it was known to be prohibited," the judge added. An indefinite order prevents Parry from having custody of a dog. He protested in Welsh from the dock about his sentence. Outside court, Caio's mum said : "I'm glad the case is over. It's a life sentence for Caio. It will never be over for Caio. I feel guilty because I took him there."

Extra bobbies on beat reduce knife crime by up to 25pc, says Cooper
Extra bobbies on the beat have helped slash knife-enabled robberies by up to 25 per cent, Yvette Cooper has claimed. Seven forces reported falls of between 2 per cent and 25 per cent in muggings involving knives after targeted police campaigns against crime. Tactics included increasing visible patrols of bobbies on the beat, using drones, knife arches and detection dogs to support police on the ground, and deploying plain clothes officers. It followed a 14 per cent increase in knife-enabled robbery in the seven areas in the year to June last year amid a sharp decline in charging rates for the offences. The seven areas accounted for 70 per cent of knife-enabled robbery in England and Wales. Data published earlier this week showed just 5.1 per cent of robberies in London last year resulted in a perpetrator being charged, down from 6.8 per cent in 2021. For theft from the person, just one in 170 (0.6 per cent) of offences resulted in a charge, down from 1.1 per cent in 2021. After the blitz, West Midlands saw a 25 per cent fall, British Transport police 24 per cent, Avon and Somerset 9 per cent, West Yorkshire 7 per cent, South Yorkshire 6 per cent and the Met Police 2 per cent. Only Greater Manchester saw an increase of 4 per cent. Ms Cooper, the Home Secretary, said: 'When we came to office, knife-enabled robbery was increasing at a concerning rate, but we have now started to drive numbers of those offences down through the work of our dedicated taskforces, and as a result, we have also seen the first small reduction in overall knife crime for four years. 'The drop in knife-enabled robbery in key problem areas shows the impact that our strong new action on knife crime is having, but we now need to supercharge these efforts through more smart and targeted interventions. 'Anyone can be a victim of knife crime, but new 'hex mapping' technology shows that the vast majority of knife crime is concentrated in a relatively small, hyper-concentrated number of areas.' Data from the Office for National Statistics' Crime Survey for England and Wales, show that the proportion of the public who say they never see an officer on the beat has doubled in the past decade. Respondents who had never seen a foot patrol in their area rose to 54 per cent in 2023/24 compared with 27 per cent in 2009/10. Labour has pledged to put an extra 13,000 officers into neighbourhood roles. A ban on ninja swords also comes into force on Friday, as part of the Government's commitment to halve knife crime in the next decade. At least 1,000 of the weapons have been handed in as part of a surrender scheme. The Government has also pledged to tackle the sale of weapons online as part of Ronan's Law, which was introduced following the death of 16-year-old Ronan Kanda, who was murdered with a ninja sword bought online. This would require retailers to report bulk or suspicious knife orders to the police, put in place more stringent age-verification checks and impose significant fines on tech executives whose platforms fail to prevent illegal sales. Pooja Kanda, Ronan's mother, said: 'Ronan was just 16 years old when his life was stolen by a 22-inch ninja sword that should never have been so easy to buy. Ronan's Law is not only a step towards justice for my son, but for every parent who wants to see their child come home safely. 'This law is about saving lives, closing dangerous loopholes, and holding those responsible to account. The Government's knife surrender scheme has been a sign of commitment to tackling the scourge of knife crime. While there is still much more to do, these are significant steps in the right direction.' The Home Office has also said a 'surrender van' will be deployed at this year's Notting Hill Carnival.
