Three suspects have been remanded in UK custody after being charged with arson related to the torching of four ambulances belonging to the Jewish volunteer organization Hatzola in Golders Green, North London, on March 23. The suspects are two British nationals, Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old UK-Pakistani national who cannot be named. They were arrested in East London and charged with arson and "being reckless as to whether life would be endangered."

A fourth person was also arrested in connection with the arson.
