Four ambulances from Hatzola, a volunteer-led ambulance service operating in the Golders Green area of north-west London, were set on fire in March.
Police have made a new arrest in connection with an alleged arson attack on four Jewish community ambulances in London, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said.
Four ambulances from Hatzola, a volunteer-led ambulance service operating in the Golders Green area of north-west London, were set on fire in the early hours of March 23, causing gas canisters stored in the vehicles to explode.
The arrest was announced by prosecutor Emma Harraway during a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.
The arrest was made at the court on Saturday morning, Ms Harraway said.
It comes as three males are due to appear at the court charged with arson being reckless as to whether life would be endangered, in connection with the alleged attack.
Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19, both British nationals from Leyton, and a 17-year-old boy, a dual British and Pakistani national from Walthamstow, were charged by the CPS on Friday following a Counter Terrorism Policing investigation.
The case is not being treated as terrorism but CTP said due to “the circumstances of the incident” the investigation is being led by its detectives.
Two other men aged 45 and 47 who were arrested last week, and are also British, were released on bail until late April.
