Fourth Suspect Arrested in Jewish Charity Ambulance Arson Attack
Police arrested a fourth suspect in connection with an arson attack that destroyed four Jewish charity ambulances in north London on March 23. Three other suspects appeared in court today and were ordered to remain in jail.
A fourth person has been arrested in connection with the arson attack that destroyed four ambulances belonging to Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer ambulance service, in north London.
The attack happened in the early hours of March 23 in Golders Green. Four ambulances were completely destroyed in the fire.
Three suspects appeared in court today and were remanded in custody. Among those charged are Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19, both British nationals from Leyton, who were charged with arson on Friday.
Two other men, aged 45 and 47, were arrested last week and released on bail until late April. Counter Terrorism Policing London is leading the investigation.
Hatzola is a volunteer-led ambulance service that provides emergency medical care to the Jewish community and others in need. The organization relies on donations and volunteers to operate.
The attack targeted emergency medical services that help save lives in the community. Such attacks on religious groups and emergency services threaten public safety and community trust.
The fourth suspect will likely appear in court soon. The two men on bail must return in late April.
