Teen Arsonist Pleads Guilty to Synagogue Fire

0:00On April 21st, a 17-year-old from Brent just pleaded guilty to Arson after torching a synagogue in northwest London. This happened at Kennen United Synagogue on Schaff's very avenue, late Saturday 9, when someone hurled a bottle filled with accelerant through a window. Police nabbed the kids Sunday and hid him with charges Monday. He's a British national, but we can't name him yet because of legal rules. The fire caused just minor damage inside, nothing too serious. No one got hurt, which is the big relief here. The Jewish charity Community Security Trust checked it out and said it was only light smoke damage to one room, no big structural issues or injuries. Meanwhile, cops also grabbed a 19-year-old man linked to the attack, but they cut him loose on bail while they dig deeper. This case shines a light on rising tensions, but authorities are on it, pushing for quick justice to keep community safe.
