- Counter Terrorism Policing London has launched an investigation into an arson attack on a business in Hendon.
- A man was seen attempting to ignite a bag containing three bottles of liquid near a row of shops on Friday evening before fleeing the scene.

- Commander Helen Flanagan noted that while the incident is not currently linked to other recent events, counter-terrorism officers are leading due to similarities with previous attacks, including one in Golders Green.
