A 17-year-old boy has pleaded guilty to arson not endangering life after an attack on a synagogue in north-west London on Saturday night.
The plea on Tuesday came as seven people were arrested over an alleged separate plan to commit an arson attack targeting the Jewish community, the Metropolitan Police said.
The teenager, a British national from Brent who cannot be named for legal reasons, was arrested by the Met Police on Sunday after a bottle containing a type of accelerant was thrown through the window of Kenton United Synagogue on Shaftesbury Avenue, Kenton, on Saturday night.
Minor damage was caused to the building, although no injuries were reported.
