Counter-terrorism police have arrested eight more people after a spate of arson attacks targeting the Jewish community in London over the last month.
Seven of the arrests, which took place over the last 48 hours, are said to have been part of a ‘proactive investigation’ into an alleged plot against a venue ‘related to the Jewish community’.
The intended venue or target has not however been revealed by police.
Today’s arrests came as Met Police continues to look into whether Iranian-linked criminal proxies – people being paid money to carry out a crime – are being used to commit the attacks.
