British police have arrested another man in the case of fires at two houses and a car linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Reuters reported, citing a law enforcers’ report.
According to local police, the 26-year-old was arrested at London’s Luton airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life and listed the same incidents involving property linked to Starmer.
Earlier on 15 May, London police on 15 May charged Roman Lavrynovych, a 21-year-old Ukrainian national, with two house and car fires linked to Starmer.
The charges are for three counts and relate to arson with intent to endanger life.
The man was arrested in South East London on the morning of Tuesday 13 May. Lavrynowicz is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 16 May.
The charges relate to three incidents: a car fire in Kentish Town in north London, a fire at the Prime Minister’s private home in the same street, and a fire at an address where he previously lived in north-west London.
The investigation was carried out by the London Police Counter Terrorism Command.
On the night of 12 May, emergency services responded to a fire at a house in Kentish Town where Keir Starmer lived before becoming Prime Minister and moving to 10 Downing Street.Police were notified by the London Fire Brigade of a fire at this residential address at 1:35am. The entrance to the house was damaged but no one was injured.
A car linked to Keir Starmer had been set on fire four days earlier, on 8 May, in the same street.
On 11 May, firefighters put out a small fire at the front door of a house converted into flats in nearby Islington. According to the BBC, the Prime Minister had lived there in the 1990s.
