A second man had already been detained on Saturday, after a Ukrainian citizen, 21, was accused on Thursdaywithin the same investigation, of “three crimes of fire set with the intention of endangering life.”
A third man was arrested in the context of the investigation to incendiary attacks on properties linked to British Prime Minister Keir Stmermer, police said on Monday.
The 34-year-old suspect was arrested on Monday morning in the Chelsea neighborhood of London, police said by alleged connection with fires aimed mainly at the former London residence of Keir Stmerer.
The Ukrainian, identified as Roman Lavrynovych, was arrested on Tuesday, May 13, on suspicion of being at the origin of the fire that hit the former Keir Stmerer house in Kentish Town, northern London, on the night from May 11 to 12.

The fire caused damage to the entrance of the house, but without registration of injuries, according to police. The labor leader and current UK Prime Minister has not lived in the house since it moved to the number 10 of Downing Street (official residence) in July 2024, but continues to be the owner of the property, according to the British press.
The investigation began after firefighters were called to erase fires at the entrances of two properties in northern London belonging to the British head of the British government, on Sunday dawn and at dawn on Monday last week.
The Ukrainian citizen was accused of two other fires: that of a vehicle on May 8, also in Kentish Town, and another at the entrance of a property in Islington, also in the north of the capital, according to the prosecutor.
A second 26 -year -old man was arrested on Saturday by agents of the anti -terrorist unit at Luton airport in northern London. He remained today in police custody.
He is “suspected of conspiracy to commit fire put in line with life,” according to a police statement.
