Sydney man sparks investigation after attempting to go overseas without posting a selfie at the departures sign
June 22, 2026
BORDER PATROL: A Sydney man is being questioned by police and immigration officials after failing to post the obligatory departures sign photo before going overseas.
“This is uncharted territory for us,” says the NSW Police Commissioner.
Before boarding his flight to Europe last night, Mark Reynolds reportedly made no effort to take a selfie at the departures sign, leading police to arrest him.
“At this stage the man is being held for questioning at Bondi police station, but no charges have been laid,” say the police.
“The concern is that he’s avoiding drawing attention to his travels as he may have something to hide.”
“We’ve never come across anything like this before.”
The investigation is ongoing.
