July 14 - Gary Nicholls, Head Press and Public Affairs at the British High Commission has confirmed that the Two British teenagers arrested with cocaine at the Kotoka International Airport have been moved from the Juvenile Unit of the Police CID to the Narcotic Control Board (NCB). He said they had been arrested and are under good care.

Ghanadot contacts with him revealed that the girls will be put before court on Wednesday July 18, 2007.

Mr Nicholls argued that it is not the place of the High Commission to disclose any private information about the girls and their contact with family, so he could not say whether their families have visited or not.

With regards to the search for the people whose names the girls mentioned, Kwame, Emmanuel and Jay, Nicholls says it is in the purview of the Ghanaian security apparatus to hunt them down. NCB and Ghana Police has not given any indications yet as to whether they have mounted a search for those persons.

The Ghana Police was taken aback following the arrest, even though they said they were aware that people were using new methods, they could not believe that younger people were been used.
