Man Boards Flight from Heathrow to JFK Without Ticket or Passport, Sparks Security Probe

The incident has led to a major investigation, with the man now missing after failing to appear in court.

Craig Sturt, 46, managed to board a British Airways flight from Heathrow to JFK without a ticket or passport, sparking a major security investigation.
Sturt was detained upon arrival in the US and charged with fraud and offences under the Aviation Security Act, but failed to appear in court, leading to a warrant for his arrest.
After initially being detained and charged, Sturt went missing, prompting police to issue an alert and describe him as a missing person.
The incident has raised serious concerns about airport security, with officials from both the UK and US demanding answers and reviewing security measures.
Sturt's ability to bypass security checks without detection has been described as a major embarrassment for Heathrow and Border Force.
