Arson Probe in London: Counter-Terror Cops on Alert

0:00On April 18, counter-terrorism cops are probing an arson hit on a shop in Henden, northwest London. Friday night, a guy walked up with a plastic bag holding three bottles of fluid, set it by the storefront, lit it, and bounced. The bottles didn't fully catch, causing just minor damage to the front, no one heard, and fire crews put it out quick. They're not calling it terrorism right now, and it's not tied to other local fires. But counter-terror units are on it because of patterns with recent attacks nearby. Over the past week, there have been tries on a Persian media spot and a synagogue in Finchley, plus ambulances from a Jewish charity torched in golders. Green last month, folks in the community are on edge about these hateful acts. Police get the worry from residents and have ramped up patrols, armed units and officers spotting shady moves. Commander Helen Flanagan says, they're not linking this one yet, but the similarities have them leading the charge. They're dead set on hunting down whoever's behind these, keeping London's neighborhood safe, no matter what. Stay sharp out there.
