Hendon Arson Attack Investigation

Counter-terror police are investigating an arson attack on a business in Hendon, London, that occurred on Friday night. A man attempted to set fire to three bottles containing fluid outside a shop, causing minor damage before fleeing. No injuries were reported, and no arrests have been made. While Counter Terrorism Policing London is leading the probe due to similarities with other incidents in the area, it is not being treated as a terrorist incident. Commander Helen Flanagan and Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams have both commented on the ongoing investigation and efforts to reassure the community.
