Love Island Star Kaz Crossley Detained in Dubai on Suspicion of Drug Offences

Kaz Crossley, a former Love Island star and fashion and beauty influencer, has been jailed in Dubai on suspicion of drug offences. She was detained at Abu Dhabi airport while in transit for a flight to Thailand.

United Arab Emirates authorities have flagged Kaz’s name due to a two-year-old video that surfaced recently. The footage shows her snorting a suspicious white substance at a party, which was shot during the lockdown period as influencers flocked to Dubai to escape restrictions in the UK. The video was initially revealed by The Sun on Sunday.

Upon her arrest on Monday, Kaz was not allowed to contact her family and could only send one email. A source revealed that she messaged a friend, asking her to inform her family that she had been arrested for drug offences. The arrest seems to be solely based on the video, and it is believed that Kaz did not have any drugs on her at the time.

Kaz’s representative stated that she was traveling through Abu Dhabi on her way to Thailand when she was stopped by UAE police. Although the matter is not directly related to her, officials felt that she could assist in their enquiries. Kaz fully cooperated with the authorities and is now free to continue her journey.

Strict Drug Laws in Dubai

Under recently changed drug laws in Dubai, first-time offenders face a minimum of three months in prison and a fine ranging from £4,559 (AED 20,000) to £22,799 (AED 100,000). Typically, expats caught using drugs are deported back to their home countries after serving their jail time.

Kaz’s agent expressed optimism that she would be released this morning, and it remains to be seen how the legal proceedings will unfold. The influencer, who rose to fame on Love Island in 2018 and is set to appear on Channel 5’s upcoming show The Challenge, spent a significant part of last year in Thailand, engaging in voluntary work. Her last Instagram post was on Sunday in Dublin.
