4 men plead guilty to torching 4 London-based ambulances operated by Jewish charity
Four young men have admitted to setting fire to four Jewish ambulances in north London earlier this year, a prosecutor said at a London court on Friday. The arson attack, which left the ambulances damaged and nearby buildings and a synagogue affected, is believed to have been motivated by anti-Semitic sentiments following the Iran war's commencement on February 28.
The four defendants, aged 18 to 20, were found guilty of destroying or damaging property and recklessness in endangering lives. Each ambulance, valued at around £250,000 ($340,000), was fully stocked prior to the attack. The fourth defendant, who was present during the fire but not actively involved, will face trial in January.
