Counterterrorism detectives investigating an arson attack on volunteer-led ambulances run by the Jewish community in Golders Green have arrested two men in connection with the incident, Shomrim reported Wednesday.
According to Shomrim, two men aged 47 and 45 were arrested Wednesday morning at addresses in northwest London and central London, on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life.
Both have been taken to a London police station, where they currently remain in police custody. Officers are carrying out searches at the two addresses.
