Arson Attack on London Synagogue, Police Boost Patrols

0:00On April 19th, another attempted arson hit a synagogue in northwest London overnight. This time a continue-nited synagogue in Harrow. The community security trust flagged it quick, saying no one got hurt and damage was just minor smoke in one room inside. This comes right after a string of similar attacks on Jewish spots in the area over the past month. Counter-terror cops are probing a fire at an old Jewish charity building in Hendon as anti-Semitic hate, plus tries on a Persian media outfit, and... Another synagogue in Finchley, and even ambulances from a Jewish charity torched in Golders Green. The spots right by a school and kids playground, and folks saw police combing a black SUV nearby Sunday morning. CSTs backing the synagogue hard, thanking the Met Police and London Fire Brigade for jumping on it fast to shield the community through this rough. Stretch. Right now, a big cordons up with forensics teams, fire dogs, and plane closed officers digging in at the scene. Met Police announced Saturday night they're ramping patrols across northwest London.

1:02More boots on ground, stop and search powers, armed units, and counter-terror squads to keep things locked down. They're all teaming up to hunt the culprits and stop more hits, making sure Jewish communities stay safe amid detention.
