2 men released on bail for suspected antisemitic hate crime in Britain

British police said on Thursday that two men arrested in connection with an arson attack that destroyed four ambulances owned by a Jewish charity have been released on bail.

The two British nationals, aged 45 and 47, were detained on Wednesday on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life, London’s Metropolitan Police Service said in a statement. The men were released under strict bail conditions and will be closely monitored, police said. Authorities on Wednesday described the arrests as an important breakthrough in the case, but noted that three people were visible in the closed-circuit camera footage of the attack.

“We continue to work to try and identify all of those involved in this appalling attack and the investigation team is working around the clock to do this,11 said Commander Helen Flanagan, head of Counter Terrorism Policing London.
