A fourth person has been charged in connection with an arson attack on volunteer-led ambulances run by the Jewish community in Golders Green.

Judex Atshatshi, 18, has been charged with committing arson being reckless as to whether life would be endangered contrary to Section 1(2) – Criminal Damage Act 1971. 

He is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, 18 April.

Atshatshi was arrested on April 16 after counter terrorism detectives attended two addresses in east London.

Another 18-year-old arrested on the same day on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life has been released on bail to a date in July.

Three people have previously been charged in connection with the incident. 

They will next appear at the Old Bailey on Friday, April 24.

The incident in north-west London in the early hours on March 30 saw the vehicles set on fire outside a synagogue in a suspected anti-Semitic hate crime.

The firebombing caused gas canisters in the ambulances, from Hatzola, a volunteer-led service, to explode.

Police said this week the incident was not ‘at this stage’ declared as terrorism – but circumstances meant counter terror detectives have been leading the probe.
