Surrey Police Spend £15k on Private Jet for Influencer

Surrey Police on 16 January 2026 announced they spent £15,000 on a private jet to ferry TikTok star Harrison Sullivan from Spain back to the UK. The move followed concerns that Sullivan would be easily identified on a commercial flight, posing a security risk. A court hearing later that month upheld the decision, as the police defended it by emphasising that they must hold people accountable who endanger lives. The jet was chartered from a London‑based company and arrived at Heathrow at dawn. Sullivan was interviewed by prosecutors before being transferred to Surrey police headquarters for questioning. Critics argue the cost is excessive, but the force argues the expenditure was justified under the "preventative law" doctrine. The case is ongoing, with the court set to rule on 20 February 2026.
