The Met says it has stepped up patrols in the area
Another attempted arson attack has been reported at a north-west London synagogue following a spate of similar incidents.
The Community Security Trust, an organisation which provides security for Jewish people, said Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow was attacked overnight.
No one was injured and no significant structural damage was caused, although there was minor smoke damage to an internal room, a spokesperson said.
Multiple arson or attempted arson attacks have been reported on Jewish property in the area in the past month including at a former Jewish charity's building in Hendon, which counter terrorism officers are investigating as an antisemitic hate crime.
