The National Crime Agency release is dated "15 October 2026" and says "Yesterday (Wednesday) she returned to court and was jailed for 25 months". The stored date, 14 October 2026, is the date of the sentence, worked out from that wording. The seizure was on 6 July 2026 and the guilty plea in August 2026.

A sentence is a court outcome, so it is filed as Policy and dated to the sentencing, not to the seizure. The release also carries figures on couriers arrested at United Kingdom airports and on fines in Thailand, which are not recorded here.

The release does not name the court that passed sentence. The seizure was at Heathrow, but this news item is about the sentence, so no pin is placed.
