A 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man have been arrested over the arson attack at Kenton United Synagogue, in Harrow, at around midnight on Sunday, Deputy Commissioner Matt Jukes said.
A “bottle with some sort of accelerant had been thrown through the window” at midnight on Sunday and smoke was seen inside a room, a Metropolitan Police spokesperson previously said.
