May 5 (UPI) -- Counterterrorism police in London said they're investigating a fire at a former synagogue Tuesday as potential arson.
Police were notified about the fire just after 5 a.m. on Nelson Street in Tower Hamlets, the London Metropolitan Police said.
"Officers were quickly on scene with firefighters," a release from the Met said. "Minor damage was caused to a set of grates and a lock at the front of the building and no reports of any persons injured."
The Met said CCTV footage indicates the fire was intentionally set and it was being treated as arson. Since the building was the former home of East London Central Synagogue, Counter Terrorism Policing London was investigating the incident.
