Surrey Police cancelled an appeal for information about a 38-year-old man reported missing from Haroldslea in Horley after confirming that he had been found. The man had last been seen on August 4, and police had appealed to the public for information about his whereabouts.

Courts across Surrey issued major sentences in 2026, including long prison terms for murder, rape, child sexual abuse, coercive control, stalking, aggravated burglary, drug trafficking and fatal dangerous driving. Surrey Police and partner forces secured convictions against multiple serious offenders, from domestic abusers to county lines operators and serial burglars targeting vulnerable residents. Several high‑profile cases involved retrials, multi‑victim investigations, and coordinated regional policing efforts, resulting in life sentences, extended licences, and long‑term Sexual Harm Prevention Orders aimed at protecting the public.
