The Metropolitan Police confirmed that the suspect was detained on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life. He remains in custody as the investigation continues.<\/p>\n
Due to the involvement of a high-profile public figure, the Metropolitan Police’s Counterterrorism Command is leading the investigation.<\/p>\n
The arrest follows three recent fire-related incidents in north London. Emergency services responded to reports of a fire at 1:35 a.m. local time (0035 GMT) on Monday at the entrance of a residential property in Kentish Town. <\/p>\n
The property, believed to be owned by Starmer and rented out, suffered damage, but no injuries were reported.<\/p>\n
Starmer lived in the house before moving to 10 Downing Street following the Labor Party’s general election victory last year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
