A third man has been arrested over a series of arson attacks targeting properties linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, police said Monday.
The 34-year-old was detained in connection with a series of arson attacks in north London on charges of “suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life”, the Metropolitan police said in a statement.
The attacks under investigation include a car fire on May 8 and two separate blazes at homes on May 11 and 12 — all linked to properties associated with the prime minister.
“All have connections with a high-profile public figure, and therefore officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command have led the investigation into the fires,” the statement said.
A 21-year-old Ukrainian national has already been charged, and a second suspect, aged 26, was arrested on Saturday at Luton Airport.
The third man was arrested in Chelsea on Monday.
