British Counter Terrorism Policing officers arrested three more suspects early Wednesday in connection with the antisemitic arson attack that destroyed four Hatzalah ambulances in Golders Green.
A 20-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, and a 17-year-old boy were arrested at three separate addresses in East London shortly after midnight. Two are British nationals; the third holds dual British and Pakistani citizenship. All three were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life and are being held at a London police station. Officers conducted searches at all three locations.
The arrests relate to the attack in the early hours of March 23, when four ambulances belonging to Hatzalah were set ablaze at approximately 1:35 a.m. Metropolitan Police declared the incident an antisemitic hate crime.
Shomrim North West London, welcomed the arrests. “The additional arrests and increased police presence provide reassurance to our community at a particularly sensitive time,” the organization said in a statement, adding that it continues to work “hand in hand with police to protect the Jewish community.”

they won’t receive anything resembling harsh punishment. not only won’t they have to pay for the damages they caused, but they’ll be free before the ambulances are even replaced.
