Man Charged After 'Flying Without A Ticket Or Passport From London to New York' - VAXA Post

After reportedly taking a plane from London to New York without a ticket or passport, a man has been accused. Craig Sturt arrived at Heathrow Airport, went through passport control, and security checks without presenting any paperwork, and boarded the British Airways aircraft just before Christmas. Upon arriving at JFK airport, the 46-year-old was halted and returned to the United Kingdom. There, he was apprehended and accused of fraud and offenses under the Aviation Security Act.

According to the allegations, Sturt entered Heathrow's Terminal 5 airside and boarded the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner "without having paid for a ticket". He was scheduled to receive a sentencing at Uxbridge Magistrates' Court in January, according to court records, but he failed to show up, leading to the issuance of an arrest warrant. Thames Valley Police received a missing person's complaint on January 25. On January 31, the Met assumed responsibility for the case and is still in charge of the investigation.

"On 24 December 2023, police were made aware of an alleged breach of security at Heathrow Airport and a male was subsequently arrested and later charged with fraud and Aviation Security Act offences. We continue to work with all our partners to review and enhance the already robust security measures in place which are kept under constant review by the wider security partnership," the force said in a statement.

According to the Met, Sturt arrived in the UK on a flight from New York at around 8 p.m. on Christmas Day. He was charged with obtaining services by deceit, being unlawfully airside, and boarding an aircraft without authority.

A Heathrow spokesperson said, "All people who go airside are subject to security screening, including the individual involved in this case. We are supporting the authorities with their ongoing investigation. We are assisting the authorities with their investigation."
