Police have confirmed no injuries occurred during the three separate incidents in north London
A Ukrainian national has been charged with multiple counts of arson following a series of fires, including one at a property owned by UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the Metropolitan Police have confirmed.
In a statement issued on Thursday, police said Roman Lavrynovych, 21, faces three counts of arson with intent to endanger life. The charges relate to separate incidents on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12, involving a vehicle fire, a blaze at the entrance of a property, and another fire at a different residential address.
Lavrynovych was arrested on Monday and has remained in custody since his detention. The authorities stated he is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday.
According to police, one of the fires occurred at Starmer's private residence in north London, which he retains despite living with his family at 10 Downing Street. While the entrance to the property sustained damage, no injuries were reported.
