A 46-year-old man and a 38-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life following a fire at a memorial wall in Golders Green, north London. The incident, which occurred on 27 April, targeted a memorial wall dedicated to protesters killed in Iran and victims of the 7 October Hamas attack.
Ongoing Investigation
The arrests are part of an ongoing Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) investigation into the suspected arson attack. Police are investigating this as one of several suspected antisemitic arson attacks in the Golders Green area in recent weeks. This incident follows a separate terrorist attack in Golders Green, where two Jewish men were stabbed and wounded on Wednesday.
Community Impact
The attacks have heightened tensions in the local community, with many expressing concern over rising antisemitic incidents. Authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue their inquiries.
