Man arrested by police investigating attacks on Jewish sites in north London
The arrest brings the total to 26 as officers investigate arson attacks on Jewish sites and related incidents across London.
- On Sunday, April 26, Counter Terrorism Policing officers arrested a 37-year-old man near Barnstaple, Devon, on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts and transported him to a London police station for questioning.
- The arrest follows a series of arson attacks on Jewish sites, including the March 23 Hatzola ambulance incident in Golders Green and an attempted arson at Finchley Reform Synagogue on April 15.
- Since late March, the Metropolitan Police have arrested 26 people in connection with the inquiry; eight individuals have been charged with arson-related offences and one person has been convicted.
- Sir Keir Starmer stated on Thursday that dealing with 'malign state actors' requires new legislation and pledged to "bring that legislation forward" to counter foreign proxy attacks in the UK.
- Counter-Terror investigators are examining potential Iranian proxy involvement in the attacks, with premises linked to people opposing the Iranian regime also targeted, suggesting a geopolitical dimension to the ongoing probe.
