Fourth suspect arrested over Jewish charity ambulance arson attack

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) confirmed the arrest of a fourth individual linked to the recent arson incident targeting ambulances owned by a Jewish charity in north London. This suspect was detained at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday morning, as reported by authorities. A man was observed exiting the court premises escorted by police officers.

Three Charged with Arson and Reckless Conduct

Earlier in the day, three defendants appeared before the court and were granted custody. Among them were two British men, Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19, along with a 17-year-old boy holding dual British-Pakistani citizenship. All three face charges of arson with intent to damage property and endangering lives through reckless behavior.

“There is compelling evidence the attack was a premeditated and targeted assault on the Jewish community,” stated the court during proceedings.

Previously, two men aged 45 and 47 had been detained in relation to the case and released on bail, pending further investigation until late April. The ongoing inquiry continues to focus on the motivations and planning behind the incident, which involved the deliberate destruction of Jewish charity ambulances.
