King Charles visits Golders Green to show support as commissioner says counter-terrorism team leading 11 investigations
Counter-terrorism officers in London have launched 11 investigations and arrested 35 people after “a sustained period of attack” upon the Jewish community, the head of the UK’s biggest police force has disclosed.
In one of his starkest comments on antisemitism in the UK Mark Rowley, the Met commissioner, told MPs in a letter: “British Jews are not currently safe in their capital city.”
The investigations, in which 10 people have been charged, include the attack on 29 April in Golders Green, in which two British Jews were stabbed, an arson attack on an ambulance and nine other incidents.
The letter was disclosed as King Charles visited Golders Green, in north-west London, on Thursday and met victims of the stabbings last month in a show of support to the community.
