On April 16, police in London napped a 16-year-old boy in two men, aged 19 and 21, after an alleged fire bomb hit a Persian media, office in Wimbly. This went down just after 8 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15, when someone chucked an ignited container into the car park outside. Lucky for everyone, the fire fizzled out on its own, with no damage or injuries. Cops on patrol spotted the mess quick and evacuated nearby spots as a safety move, but cleared it fast. No real threat. The three suspects peeled out in a black SUV, dodging police and sparking a chase through North London that stretched 8 miles. That getaway ride smashed up on baller's lane in North Finchley, letting officers cuff the crew right there on suspicion of arson that could endanger. Lives. All three are still locked up in custody as things unfold. Now the mess counter-terrorism unit is digging into it, even though it's not tagged as a terror case. Just standard probe with their backup from the backup from the local area.

No ties so far to other recent arson's around Finchley or Golders Green. This one's got folks watching close, but for now, it's all about keeping the streets safe while the investigation rolls on. Stay tuned for updates.
