"The latest arrest follows a number of separate attacks across London in recent months, including the stabbing of two Jewish men in Golders Green last week. Thirty-one people had now been arrested as part of various investigations by the Met's counter-terrorism unit into attacks on Jewish sites in London since March, the force said. These include attacks on two synagogues in north London and a Jewish business."
A 48-year-old man was arrested in Leytonstone on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson and taken into custody. Four Hatzola ambulances were set alight in Golders Green in the early hours of 23 March, causing explosions and about £1 million in damage to the vehicles and medical equipment. Nearby flats and a synagogue were also affected. Prosecutors said the attack was targeted at the Jewish community. Three men and a teenager previously appeared in court over destroying the ambulances and were remanded until a plea hearing on 28 August. Police said the investigation is part of wider counter-terrorism inquiries into attacks on Jewish, Israeli, and Iranian sites in London, including additional arrests and incidents.
