Two teenagers have been arrested after an arson attack targeted a synagogue in Harrow over the weekend.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman detailed the attack at Kenton United Synagogue in north west London where smoke filled a room after a “bottle with some sort of accelerant had been thrown through the window” at midnight on Sunday.
A man had been seen lighting a bag, which officials discovered to have contained three bottles with fluid in them in the doorway.
Matt Jukes, deputy commissioner of the force, confirmed a 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man have been arrested.
He said: “I’m really pleased to say that overnight, we have news of two arrests in relation to that incident.”
He added: “We’ve made over the last weeks 15 arrests in relation to a series of six incidents that have targeted Jewish premises, the Jewish-led ambulance service and a Persian media organisation.”
