A fourth person has been charged over an alleged arson attack on ambulances run by a Jewish charity in north London last month.

The four vehicles operated by volunteer-led ambulance service Hatzola were destroyed in the early hours of 23 March in Golders Green.

The Crown Prosecution Service said Judex Atshatshi, 18, a British national from Dagenham, had been charged with one count of arson with intent to damage property and being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.

He was detained after counter-terrorism detectives went to two addresses in east London on Thursday.

Another 18-year-old was arrested but has been bailed until July.

Atshatshi will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday 18 April.

Three men from east London have already been charged with arson. They are: Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, both British nationals from Leyton, and a 17-year-old boy, a dual British and Pakistani national from Walthamstow.
