Hatzola arson suspects released on bail

Commander Helen Flanagan, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing London, which is leading the investigation, said: “Although the two men have been released from police custody, there are strict bail conditions in place while we continue to investigate their suspected involvement in this incident.

"I can reassure the public that we will be closely monitoring these while we carry out further enquiries.

“We continue to work to try and identify all of those involved in this appalling attack, and the investigation team is working around the clock to do this.

“I’d like to thank the public and particularly the local Jewish community in the area for their continued support and reiterate our appeal to anyone who might have information that could assist with the investigation to get in touch with us."

Police also confirmed they are still working to locate a third person seen in CCTV footage of the attack, released earlier this week by the synagogue where the four ambulances were parked.

The clip showed three individuals, hooded, masked and dressed in black, walking calmly over to emergency vehicles owned by the Jewish volunteer service in the early hours of Monday morning.

One of the individuals was seen apparently removing something from a bag, before the group was blocked from view by the ambulances.

A few seconds later, flames began to engulf the vehicles, which were parked on a residential street near the Machzike Hadath Synagogue.

Subsequent clips showed an explosion, prompting a larger blaze, as firefighters arrived on the scene.

Anyone with information should contact the Met on 101, quoting reference CAD415 of 23 March.
