Two men arrested over Jewish charity ambulance arson attacks

Two men have been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life after four Jewish charity-owned ambulances were set on fire in north London, the Metropolitan Police has said.

Four Hatzola ambulances were set ablaze in Golders Green, London, in the early hours of Monday, leading to an investigation led by the Met's counter-terror officers.

The men, aged 47 and 45, were arrested in north-west London and central London on Wednesday morning.

Officers are carrying out searches at the two addresses.

"We have been working around the clock since this appalling attack took place and this has led to these arrests being made this morning," said Commander Helen Flanagan, head of counter terrorism policing London.
