The Metropolitan Police have taken a 21-year-old man into custody on suspicion of arson with the intent to endanger life, following a series of fires at homes linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Police arrested the man in the early hours of Tuesday, May 13th.
The arrest followed a fire at the prime minister’s private residence in Kentish Town, north London, which took place early Monday morning. Additionally, on Sunday, emergency services responded to a minor fire at the entrance of a building converted into flats in Islington, which is also connected to Starmer.
Officers are also examining a car fire as part of the investigation. There was no report of injuries.
Counter-terrorism police took over the investigation. Police are treating the fires as suspicious and investigating whether they are linked.
