London Arson Attacks Investigation

While the Metropolitan Police have stated the incidents are not currently being treated as terrorism, the targeted nature of the attacks has caused significant alarm within the Jewish community.

A fourth suspect, 18-year-old Judex Atshatshi, has been remanded in custody in connection with the torching of Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green.

Police have increased patrols in the affected areas and are urging residents to remain vigilant but calm.

Investigators are reviewing CCTV footage that reportedly shows a man with a plastic bag containing flammable fluid approaching the scene of the most recent fire.
