Four men have pleaded guilty to charges related to an arson attack that destroyed four ambulances operated by the Jewish charity Hatzola in north-west London. The incident, which occurred in the early hours of March 23, caused approximately £1 million in damages.
Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, Judex Atshatshi, and Saif Ali, all aged 18, pleaded guilty to destroying or damaging property recklessly as to whether life would be endangered. The attack took place in Golders Green, a neighborhood in north-west London, and resulted in explosions when the four vehicles were set alight.
Prosecutors indicated that they believe the incident was a targeted attack against the Jewish community. Sentencing for the four individuals is scheduled for the spring of 2027.
