Ambulances at Jewish organisation set on fire in London | ABC NEWS
Four ambulances belonging to a Jewish community ambulance service have been set on fire and destroyed in London in what police say is an antisemitic hate crime.
Explosions were heard in the area around the Machzike Hadath synagogue, which police say was due to gas canisters onboard the Hatzola Northwest ambulances.
The London fire service said the explosions broke windows in a nearby block of flats.
“We know this incident will cause a great deal of community concern and officers remain on scene to carry out urgent enquiries,” Superintendent Sarah Jackson said.
“We believe we are looking for three suspects at this early stage,” she added, confirming there’d been no arrests.
“We will be engaging with faith leaders and carrying out additional patrols in the local area as we continue our investigation to provide reassurance and a highly visible presence.”
