Fourth person arrested in Golders Green arson that destroyed Hatzola ambulances

The Metropolitan Police and Counter Terrorism Policing London are leading the investigation and are treating the incident as an antisemitic hate crime.

Three people were charged and remanded in relation to the arson and appeared at a London court on April 4, 2026. Video circulated showing hooded individuals pouring accelerant and setting fire to the vehicles; explosions were reported from gas/oxygen cylinders stored in the ambulances and nearby residents were evacuated as a precaution (reported March 23).

“This appears to be an important breakthrough in the investigation.” Commander Helen Flanagan (Counter Terrorism Policing London) said.
