Four ambulances belonging to a Jewish community organisation were set on fire in north London in what police believe could be a hate crime. The incident took place in the area of Golders Green, which has a large Jewish population.
According to the Metropolitan Police, the ambulances were part of the Jewish Community Ambulance Service. All four vehicles were badly damaged after being deliberately set on fire.
Police have started an investigation to find those responsible for the attack. They are also looking into whether the incident was motivated by antisemitism, as it targeted a service linked to the Jewish community.
Emergency services quickly responded to the fire and managed to control the situation. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, but the loss of the ambulances may affect emergency support services in the area.
Community leaders have strongly condemned the incident and called for strict action against those involved. They also urged authorities to ensure better protection for community organisations and public services.
Police are checking CCTV footage and asking witnesses to come forward with any information that could help identify the suspects. Investigations are ongoing, and officials have assured that those responsible will be brought to justice.
