Man and woman arrested over attempted arson attack on north London synagogue

A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of arson endangering life after an incident at a synagogue in north London.

Two bottles thought to contain petrol were hurled at Finchley Reform Synagogue in Fallow Court Avenue, Finchley, shortly after midnight on Wednesday, in an incident being treated as an antisemitic hate crime.

On Wednesday evening, the Metropolitan Police said officers had arrested a 47-year-old woman and a 46-year-old man on suspicion of arson endangering life.

The force said the woman was arrested at an address in Watford and the 46-year-old man was arrested in the Watford area.

Both are in custody, Scotland Yard said.
