In an important twist, a third person has been detained in a row of incendiary attacks on the properties belonging to the UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. The arrest was made in Chelsea, south-west London, where the suspect was captured with an intention to carry out conspiracy to commit arson. This is the latter of the recent arrests regarding the incidents at the Prime Minister's residences.

Incidents Overview

The new detainees show a possible planned scenario of them working together.

Public and Political Responses

The authorities have been quoted saying they will take seriously the ongoing problem and that they shall do everything in their power to catch the people who caused it.
