Three males are due in court after four Jewish community ambulances were targeted in an alleged arson attack in north-west London.

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.

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, have been charged with arson being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.

The accused, who were arrested as part of a Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) investigation, are set to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.

Two other men aged 45 and 47 who were arrested last week, and are also British, were released on bail until late April.

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.
