British police arrested three men in connection with the arson attack on Jewish community ambulances in north London last month, authorities said Wednesday, in addition to two arrests made last week.

The men, aged 20, 19 and 17, were arrested at three separate addresses in east London on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life, the London-area Metropolitan Police said in a statement.

Two were British nationals, while the third was a dual British-Pakistani national. Last week, detectives detained two British nationals in their 40s and later released both on police bail.

“We know concern among the Jewish community remains high, but I hope these arrests show that we are doing everything we can to bring those responsible to justice,” said Commander Helen Flanagan, Head of Counter Terrorism Policing London.

Four ambulances of the Jewish-run volunteer organization Hatzola were destroyed after being set on fire on March 23 in what British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described as a “deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.”

The organization was established in 1979 and provides free medical transportation and emergency response to Jewish and non-Jewish residents of north London.
