This is a deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.
My thoughts are with the Jewish community who are waking up this morning to this horrific news.
Antisemitism has no place in our society.
Anyone with any information must come forward to the police.
We are investigating an antisemitic arson attack on Jewish ambulances in Golders Green.
We know this will cause significant concern in the local community and are stepping up patrols and engaging with faith leaders.
