Abstract: We say that a finite group $G$ acting on a set $Omega$ has Property $(\ast {)}_p$ for a prime $p$ if $P_{o}mega$ is a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $G_{o}mega$ for all $omegainOmega$ and Sylow $p$-subgroups $P$ of $G$. Property $(\ast {)}_p$ arose in the recent work of Tornier (2018) on local Sylow $p$-subgroups of Burger-Mozes groups, and he determined the values of $p$ for which the alternating group $A_n$ and symmetric group $S_n$ acting on $n$ points has Property $(\ast {)}_p$. In this paper, we extend this result to finite $2$-transitive groups and we give a structural characterisation result for the finite primitive groups that satisfy Property $(\ast {)}_p$ for an allowable prime $p$.
