  • Three more individuals have been arrested in connection with an arson attack on four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green, north London.
  • The suspects, a 20-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, and a 17-year-old boy, were arrested early on Wednesday morning in East London on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.
  • This brings the total number of arrests to five, following the earlier detention and subsequent bail of two men aged 45 and 47 last week.
  • Counter Terrorism Policing London is leading the investigation, which is currently being treated as an antisemitic hate crime.
  • The Metropolitan Police has implemented an enhanced policing plan across London, including visible armed patrols, to reassure the Jewish community during the Passover festival.
