Three arrests have been made following an attempted arson attack at the offices of a Persian language media organisation in north-west London.

Police said an ignited container was thrown towards the building in Wembley on Wednesday at around 20:30 BST. There were no reports of any damage or injuries.

Officers later chased a black SUV, leading to the arrest of a 16-year-old boy and two men aged 19 and 21 on suspicion of arson endangering life.

The Met said the incident is not being treated as terrorism and is not currently believed to be linked to other recent arson attacks in north London.
