Boy, 17, among new arrests over suspected arson attack on Jewish charity ambulances

Three people arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson, say police investigating Golders Green incident

Counter-terrorism police have arrested two men and a boy in connection with a suspected arson attack last week on ambulances run by a Jewish charity in Golders Green, north London.

The three people – a 19-year-old man, a 20-year-old man and a 17-year-old boy – were all arrested early on Wednesday, the Metropolitan police said.

Their separate homes in East London were being searched by officers on Wednesday afternoon. The two older men were British nationals and the boy was a dual British and Pakistani citizen, the Met said.

All three were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life and remain in police custody.
